Hannah Gibbins, 23 and a Fashion with Business Studies BA(Hons) student who graduates from the 茄子视频 this year, won the Debenhams Menswear Award at the Graduate Fashion Week (GFW) in June.

, the largest festival of its kind, has announced its collaboration with GFW and will show award-winning designs, including those by Hannah Gibbins, at Olympia starting this Sunday (22 July): “As part of Pure London’s ongoing commitment to supporting up-and-coming design talent, visitors will be able to see the inspiring and visionary work of these newly graduated designers on the catwalk throughout the three-day event.”

Hannah said: “I am so thrilled about this opportunity to show a look from my collection at Pure London. It is such an honour to be chosen to represent GFW and to be a part of this collaboration alongside other talented designers.

“It’s an excellent opportunity to be at one of the largest fashion trade shows; to meet and be inspired by other designers and buyers.”

Craig Higgins, the university’s fashion course leader and GFW trustee, said: “The Graduate Fashion Week and Pure London collaboration is an amazing way to support our graduates at the start of their careers and is a fantastic opportunity for the GFW award winners. Pure is one of the largest fashion industry trade shows and will give Hannah's menswear collection exposure to vast and varied industry audience.”

Thrilled at winning the Debenhams award, Hannah, 23, said: “I’ve loved living in Brighton; working with such creative people for the last four years. It has been a wonderful and inspiring experience during which I have made amazing friends and I am now very excited to see everyone’s development and success into the fashion world.”

About her course, she said: “It has been amazing experience. Coming from more of a fine art background Brighton has pretty much taught me everything.

“My ability and confidence with my technical skills has grown enormously, I feel the Brighton course is really good for that. I have been shown key ways to translate my ideas into 3D, as well as being supported in strengthening my fashion illustrations and digital development. I do feel that through this support I have been able to fully develop my own aesthetic as a designer.”

Hannah interned in New York with GAP, and London for Craig Green and E. Tautz: “The live project with GAP in my second year offered me the excellent opportunity to work in New York for two months in 2016.

“And the year I spent in industry I found crucial. Having this sandwich year on the course was an excellent opportunity to create connections and understand the industry … it gave me an insight into what jobs are out there.”
