The only university invited to showcase at London Fashion Week 2021.

Students blended the innovative use of digital technology with traditional fashion craftsmanship for the show. They also produced a film that celebrated the entire class of 2021. The students worked shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the world's leading tech giants to explore a new world of mixed reality.

I would have never expected to be showing my work in London Fashion Week so soon after graduating this year. I am immensely grateful. It is a dream come true! I have come a long way to finding my design aesthetic. I chose this fashion degree because I saw how student's work refined from their foundation to their degree studies. ”
About Rave Digital
The presentation at London Fashion Week delved into the Rave Digital project.
In the summer of 2020, BA (Hons) Fashion and BA (Hons) Games Development students united to showcase their graduate collections via a slick, downloadable game which was streamed on Twitch.
The game, titled Rave Digital, attracted a thousand concurrent visitors in the first 3 hours and had a staggering 36,800 unique views within the first day!
The project made history as the first time that undergraduates had created their own avatars and digital outfits for a virtual fashion show. Students from the BA (Hons) Music & Sound Design, BA (Hons) Digital Television Production and BA (Hons) Digital Film Production courses have built upon this digital exploration with their own impressive show.

It’s a huge opportunity for me to be involved in London Fashion Week and presenting my graduate collection to a fashion-forward audience in both digital and physical. Also, being the only university in the country that has been invited to the event and being the first fashion show in my entire life makes me a little bit nervous but extremely proud! This course helped me to find myself as a designer and fully prepared me for the industry.”

"I am super excited about the show! Having graduated just back in June and already being involved in the prestigious London Fashion Week feels like a huge privilege. I am really thankful to everyone who is making this happen!
When I first started, I knew nothing about fashion and didn’t have any experience in sewing or styling whatsoever, but I had been drawing and sketching for fun since kindergarten.
The fashion course at Ravensbourne and the tutors I met along the way, kept believing in me and pushing me. After three years, I have all the manufacturing, sewing, pattern-cutting, print and design skills that I need to realise my creativity and to keep challenging myself."
