The top ten students were chosen following Graduate Fashion Week in London when all the participating universities and colleges were invited to submit three garments that best display the breadth and talent of their designers’ collections.

Lisa's collection., which was inspired by Welsh goldmines, will be one of the highlights at the University’s annual Fashion Show on May 19th - 21st, at the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre. For more info, visit:
