Ravensbourne University London Fashion students showcase their final-year work to industry leaders.
On Thursday 6 June, a group of students who are set to become the fashion industry stars of the future showcased their work to industry leaders, hoping for their big break.
At an industry breakfast held at the stylish 180 Studios in central London, students from Ravensbourne University London showcased their highly creative work.
This event was also an opportunity for the students to network with industry professionals in the fields that they are aiming to enter, and for staff to strengthen their pre-existing relationships with our industry contacts. Brands in attendance included Ralph Lauren, All Saints, Alexander McQueen, LVMH, and more.
