Northbrook talent takes to the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week 2026

It was a standout week for Northbrook College Fashion students at Graduate Fashion Week 2026 in London, joining top emerging talent and industry leaders to celebrate the future of fashion.

Amy Brigden, Corinne James and Anastasia Ellis took to the catwalk to showcase their collections, while Alex Faur’s striking look was featured in the exhibition hall, each piece reflecting months of creativity, innovation and craftsmanship in front of industry insiders and recruiters.

Held at The Truman Brewery, Graduate Fashion Week brought together universities, brands and employers from across the sector, offering a platform for the next generation of design talent. Alongside the showcases, students and staff immersed themselves in a packed programme of talks, networking opportunities and industry-led sessions, gaining valuable insight into an ever-evolving landscape.

The event also opened doors to leading employers including ASOS and F&F, while a new partnership between the Graduate Fashion Foundation and Pentland Brands reinforced its commitment to developing emerging talent.

As part of the collaboration, Pentland Brands hosted a dedicated careers space, giving students and graduates the chance to meet industry professionals, receive advice and explore opportunities across brands such as Berghaus, Speedo, Kickers, Mitre, ellesse and Endura.

Throughout the week, students connected with industry leaders, explored developments in fashion, sportswear and lifestyle, and experienced first-hand the power of creativity, collaboration and innovation on a global stage.

Gayle, Fashion Course Lead at Northbrook College, said:

“Graduate Fashion Week is a fantastic opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity alongside emerging talent from across the country.

“We were incredibly proud to see Corinne James, Anastasia Ellis and Amy Brigden present their collections on the catwalk, while Alex Faur and BA Textiles graduate Jane Rivers were selected to exhibit their work.

“It’s wonderful to see our students engaging with industry professionals and making the most of these opportunities.

“We are especially delighted that Amy Brigden has been shortlisted for three awards recognising her ethical and considered approach to design.”

Graduate Fashion Week 2026, held from 15 to 18 June, continues to play a vital role in championing emerging designers and supporting the next generation of fashion professionals.
