MA Fashion Design students at Winchester School of Art have been selected to show at the prestigious London Fashion Week held by British Fashion Council later this month. This follows the successful showcase of work by students on the MA Fashion Design and MA Textile Design programmes at Africa Fashion Week London 2025 in August.

London Fashion Week?

This year, The Collective at Winchester School of Art is representing graduating designers from the MA Fashion Design programme. In their last semester of study, designers work as a house, collaborating with The Company at WSA and this year, London Fashion Week.

The Company at WSA is a designer-led, cross-disciplinary initiative that supports and showcases creativity in a collaborative and inclusive way. In 2021, The Company at WSA was recognised with a Vice Chancellors Award for Innovative Teaching.

The individual designers demonstrate a strong mix of highly creative, ambitious and innovative collections across various specialisms. The diversity of the designers within The Collective, mixed with the multinational, rich culture that is the city of London, provides the key inspiration and backdrop to the 2025 catwalk presentation, LAST STOP, LONDON.
