Book your tickets Spectacular showpieces Student Maddy Stringer’s striking outfit was inspired by her childhood dolls’ house and hotel soap packets. She has embossed brightly coloured sheets of PVC with traditional prints to create a giant textured showpiece. Sustainable fashion was Aurelie Fontan’s focus. She has grown her own textile to make a huge black and bronze ensemble, which is held together using soluble cable ties. Experimental techniques Masters student Rhys McKenna’s futuristic menswear outfit was inspired by sculptural and painterly working methods. He has experimented with a range of innovative materials and techniques to create an oversized structured suit interlaced with crystals. Catwalk event Edinburgh College of Art fashion show Front Row is sponsored by Cazenove Capital in partnership with National Museums Scotland. Turcan Connell is also providing sponsorship. We are thrilled Cazenove Capital has supported this year’s show, and the National Museum of Scotland is an ideal setting in which to showcase students’ designs. Our graduating year have developed imaginative and innovative concepts, which I am sure will captivate audiences.
