GFW

Yesterday I headed down to London for Graduate Fashion Week as me and a couple of other girls from college got invited to watch the Manchester School of Arts show! So we were all pretty excited. The weather was so nice yesterday down in London so we decided we would do a little bit of shopping on Oxford Street before we hit Earls Court, the obvious question is did we go to Topshop? Durrrrr.. it would be rude not too! After lusting over nearly everything in the boutique section we called it a day and went to our final destination and Im so glad we went early on in the day as there was so much do and see especially for people in our precision (e.g. people who cant make there mind up on uni and what they want to do), It was basically like a giant UCAS fair but with all fashion courses and I found it really helped and benefited me seeing graduates work and speaking to them, It made me realise what is actually out there...

  
The Manchester show was really good and was my first ever real fashion show which made it was even better, I even spotted Susie Bubble sat opposite us which obviosuly meant I have to chuck in a Tweet or two in whilest there haha. 

The show consisted of lots of bright bold colours, textured fabrics and knit wear whilst some people opted for the more structured garments which were my favourites of the show. I found it really interesting seeing the mens wear and how diverse it actually is!!! It really fascinates me and makes me struggle even more with the decision on what to do and where to go... all I know is I want to design and see my garments on the catwalk! 

Overall I recommend Graduate week to everyone who is looking to go to uni or just wants an insight to the Fashion world! Also Manchester School of Arts Fashion show is a must see as there work is so diverse and creative you would be silly to miss it out and I would LOVE to go back next year.
