Did I hear you saw catwalk? Why yes you did. But forget those oyerpriced creations you're used to seeing on the catwalks of London. Rome and Milan. This is your chance to see the work of lidinburgh’s best young designers before they make it big.
So they’re young, but are they good? How can you doubt it'.’ liCA has a top reputation for producing successful designers. and some of the students haye eyen collaborated with professionals like Mark liley from liley Kishimoto London and April Crichton from Sonia Ry kiel Paris.
What sort of designs can we expect? Imaginations w ill haye been running riot. and as the designers come from the Fashion. Performance Costume
and Textiles courses. you can rest assured \ariety is the name of the game.
And if I can’t get a ticket? If. for whatey er reason. you aren't destined to see the show first-hand in the neo-classical splendour of the Sculpture Court. then log onto ww w.eca.ac.uk and watch the liye webcast instead on Friday night.
