Alison Gault, Senior Lecturer at Ulster University’s Belfast School of Art said:
“Ulster University’s Belfast School of Art is a creative hub helping to cultivate and develop the next generation of art and design talent. Our Graduate Fashion Show is regarded as one of leading graduate shows nationally and allows the fashion and textile industry to view the work of our future faces of fashion. The graduate fashion show also demonstrates the innovation, creativity and energy of our students and highlights the significant contribution that Ulster University makes to design both at home and abroad.”
Hannah Ibrahim a final year fashion design student at Ulster University said:
“The graduate fashion show is the culmination of years of hard work and I welcome the opportunity to showcase my design skills and creativity to industry representatives. The class of 2018 exhibiting are all individual designers with unique style and vision and with the skills learned through the Textile Art, Design and Fashion programme at Ulster University, we will exhibit fresh new ideas for the contemporary fashion industry, so I’ve no doubt this will be a fashion show like no other.”
Ulster University’s Graduate Fashion Show takes place on Thursday 31st May from 7.00pm-9.30pm at St Anne’s Cathedral. Tickets for the show are £15 and can be purchased online.
