We are incredibly proud to announce that, Taneshe, our BA
Fashion student, won the Fashion Concept award. Taneshe’s collection is
inspired by her Jamaican heritage and the huge impact the Caribbean migrants
(known as the Windrush generation) had on rebuilding the UK post-World War Two.
As such, her collection is a love letter to those Caribbean migrants and is
also a way to ensure visibility and ongoing recognition of their work and
contribution to British culture and society, not only in fashion but also in other
areas.
You can find out more about Taneshe, and disccover her feature in Harper’s Bazaar here.
