London set for Graduate Fashion Week

Graduate Fashion Week launches at London's Earls Court 2 on 5 June.

The event, which has been held since 1991, will showcase work from 50 universities and 21 university fashion shows.

It will also feature a Gala Show and awards ceremony on 8 June.

Graduate Fashion Week has previously helped to launch the careers of top British designers including Stella McCartney, Julien MacDonald, Christopher Bailey, Antonio Baradi, Stuart Vevers and Hussein Chalayan.

The event is non-profit making and its costs are met by sponsorship, ticket sales and stand revenue. This year's title sponsor is George Asda.
