York College Fashion Show 2010

Fashion students paraded their creations on the catwalk as a finale to their National Diploma and Foundation Degree Fashion courses at the York College Fashion Show held at York Racecourse. The students’ collections featured different themes ranging from Hysteria and Zany Zips and Doily Daze to the Little White Dress.

Marks & Spencer sponsored the final year National Diploma students’ ‘jacket project’ and the Company of Merchants Taylors presented the ‘Best Collection’ prizes to the final year Foundation Degree students. There was also a Denim Dress and Corset group project by first year National Diploma students.

First year Foundation Degree students exhibited their mini spring/summer collections, worked in conjunction with Noa Noa in Low Petergate and second year Foundation Degree students presented their Designer v High Street project, as well as their final collections.

Marie Neal-Smith, Fashion tutor said: “The Fashion students have worked extremely hard this year and produced varied collections. Personal themes can be seen throughout all the student work and 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 and reflecting industry standards, these successful collaborations are greatly valued by students across all year groups."
