York College Fashion Show 2009

York College Fashion students are set to parade their creations on the catwalk as a finale to their National Diploma and Foundation Degree Fashion courses. The York College Fashion Show will be staged in a specially sited marquee at the college on Wednesday 17th June. The students’ collections feature different themes, ranging from Gothic Romance to Military Glamour and Corsett Couture.

Marks & Spencer are sponsoring the National Diploma students’ ‘skirt project’ entitled ‘Pretty Punk” and the Company of Merchants Taylors will present the the ‘Best Collection’ prizes to the Foundation Degree students.

Also, twelve Foundation Degree students will exhibit their mini spring/summer collections, which have been worked in conjunction with Noa Noa in Low Petergate, York.

Marie Neal-Smith, Fashion tutor at York College says: “The Fashion students have worked extremely hard again this year and produced varied collections. Personal themes can be seen throughout all the student work and this is reflected in the collections on the catwalk, many of which are inspired from a trip to Paris earlier in the year. Marks and Spencers and Noa Noa have had considerable input to client lead projects resulting in the work produced reflecting industry standards, these successful collaborations are greatly valued by students across all year groups.”
