Students' work at the Fashion Revolution Exhibition at Somerset House 2009

The students entered a fashion Styling and Design competition at Somerset House. They begin by researching Somerset House's fascinating history and photographed different aspects of the building. They became interested in the surface of the walls, the cellars and the staircases. The prestigious Masquerade Balls also influenced them, when Somerset House became the home for the admiralty. The competition required them to download the patterns of famous fashion Designers Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe and John Galliano. They used their creative ideas from the building of Somerset House to re create the patterns in exciting ways. Although they did not win the competition, two students Rosanna Severino and Sarah Mensah's photographs were chosen for the Fashion Revolution Exhibition and are now on display in the gallery at Somerset House.

WLC student chosen as finalist in Metro Re-Create 2 Competition 2009

WLC Fashion Students entered the Metro Re-Create 2 competition for 2009. The brief was to create a piece of art or design from used newspaper using the environment as their inspiration. Three of our students' pieces appeared in the Metro Newspaper on February 25th 2009. Mathilda Spjuth made studies of a bird skull and bone structure to create an interesting sculptured piece for the body, which was created out of the Metro, string and wire. Pooja Sharma drew from a pine cone for her entry and will use recyclable materials in her future work. Siann Au Yeung created a marbled effect using coloured parts of the Metro cutting the newspaper into strips and rolling them into fine lines.

'All the students created exciting innovative work after a visit to Kew Gardens and Liron Kliger has been chosen as one of the finalists. She has developed an exciting sculptural piece for the body after studying rosehips. Her work is very spiky, colourful and original.' Said Louise Lidington, Head of Fashion at WLC.
