GFW 2010

Well I'm a little late on updating but here's my quick Graduate Fashion Week coverage! I attended only 2 Uni shows this year and those were UCA Epsom (my Uni) and Nottingham Trent although I think all in all this year wasn't as great as the past couple years- there are still some amazing work out there so I thought I'd share some of my favourites.

First UCA Epsom, I was mostly blown away by the menswear design graduates. I did take some photo's myself but most of them weren't very good as I borrowed my boyfriends more 'professional' camera thinking I'll have some great photo's but in the end it was too complicated for me to play with settings- i just wanted a point, snap and click dammit I was rather annoyed so I've grabbed pics from the world wide web instead!!

NOTTINGHAM TRENT
I just loved what I saw on their stand so I somehow got myself a free ticket for the show and managed to sit front row and got myself a Paul Smith perfume!!!- only knowing this amazing freeby after I left the show otherwise I would've been grabing those extra goody bags- Im a sucker for freebies!!
Just before the show I watched Tinie Tempah perform- I must say I do actually really like his songs. Anyway... I love Shinsuke Mitsuoka punk rock attitude collection below reminiscent of Gareth Pugh!! The reason why I wanted to see this Uni's show in the first place.

Nottingham Trent also had some cool knitwear designers my favourite would be Heewon Park. Samantha Brooke and Phoebe Thrilwall also created some fine intricate knitwear.
