Fashion students to exhibit in London

Two students at Derby College Group are to have their work displayed at an exhibition in London.

Amelia Slater and Patricia Gaziova, from the college’s Level 3 Extended Diploma in Fashion Business and Retail programme, were selected by University of the Arts London from nearly 500 submissions to exhibit their work at Origins Creatives at the Truman Brewery, in Shoreditch.

Origins Creatives is organised by UAL Awarding Body and provides art lovers, critics and industry professionals from the creative sector the chance to discover original creative talent from across the UK and celebrate students’ creativity and hard work.

Sophie Harris, fashion retail teacher at the college, said: “We are delighted for Amelia and Patricia. The competition for being part of this exhibition was fierce and it is a huge accolade that their work has been chosen.

“On the Level 3 Extended Diploma Fashion Business and Retail, we aim to provide a high quality, engaging education that is stimulating and demanding, providing students with an opportunity to explore, develop and extend creativity within the fashion industry.”

The exhibition will be open to the public from tomorrow until Sunday.
