The words 'band' and 'wagon' jump to mind when we hear about yet another St Martins wonderkid. Giles Deacon, Bora Aksu and Jonathan Saunders are just three designers to spring from its doors to recent acclaim. They may be wonderfully talented - and they are - but what about all the unknows who don't have the St Martins tag to kick them up the ladder? |

Next week Graduate Fashion Week takes over a corner of Battersea Park and this time around they're centering on the 'forgotton' fashion colleges. All those ones that get cast-aside in that the rush for the NBSMT (Next Big St Martins Thing). Forgotten colleges have produced names, but on the quiet; Burberry designer Christopher Bailey and Luella accessories designer Katie Hillier studied at Westminster. The Boudicca design duo met at Middlesex and hot handbag designer Zoe Knight went to Northumbria. And Ravensbourne has seen students morph into senior designers at Mulberry, Levi's, Givenchy, Gap and Marc Jacobs. |
