FfW grantee is short-listed for a design award

After graduating from her MA in Womenswear from the Royal College of Art FfW grantee, Camilla, was selected as one of eight finalists of the H & M Design Awards and was flown to Stockholm for an exhibition and catwalk show.    At the show Camilla’s knitwear was judged by fashion and celebrity judges including actress Michelle Dockery from “Downton Abbey” and two fashion editors from “Vogue”.   Camilla’s collection takes inspiration from the dystopian vision of the future found in the 1988 movie They Live, resulting in graphic metallic knits matched with fuzzy knits inspired by white noise.
Camilla is now working as a Design Assistant for a knitwear supplier who supplies high street stores such as Monsoon, Top Shop and Dorothy Perkins.

Photographs from our AGM

Our AGM on 11 June saw members present say farewell to Gillis Burgess, who retired from the Board of Trustees after 41 years service.  Gillis cut a cake before sharing a cup of tea with friends.  We were also pleased to welcome three interesting speakers – Victoria Lenzoi Lee, Dr Pam Hirsch and Sarah Rhodes – who spared the time to tell us about working with the Design Council, the recent BBC programme “Shopgirls – the true story of life behind the counter” and collaborating with communities in Africa to design jewellery.

To read a full report on our AGM and the three presentations please visit the News items below.
