With months of planning, a hint of stress, ticket sales, and cupcakes, we were ready to hold an amazing fashion show and after party at London Bridge "The Arches".
(Cupcakes by Denise Howe)
Us UEL fashion students do not do things half hearted, we wanted to make the show a night to remember and an opportunity to show the public what we do best. The crowd were amazing!! So many people turned up to support us, more than we could have hoped for.

We were thankful for a top lineup of DJ's!
Hutch from Ministry of Sound kicked it off followed by DJ Samson and Mr Kiplin, resident DJ's of Toaster.
Wrapped up with DJ Magdi and a guest performance from Wizard Sleeve!!
Mingling amongst the students were people from industry, ranging from designers, buyers, photographers and journalists. Some to be named were Tomo Kembery Editor in Chief from Random magazine www.tomo-photography.com. Tomo spotted some of his favorite designers for a quick interview back stage about their work.
Also in the venue was Magdi Fernandes, a well known global DJ/ Photographer and founder of http://www.WeAreHQ.com (online magazine and store). We were also happy to have our own UEL press come down for a quick interview and snaps of the show for the magazine.
Aphnea Stella Asia Consonni took some fantastic photos on the night check her out on http://www.aphneaphotography.com/
The show was filmed by Wayne Meckel newly graduate of Thames Valley University who studied Digital Animation with video production. http://vimeo.com/user3770360 (Fashion Show video will be uploaded asap!)
UEL Tutors came to show their support and we even had the pleasure of the vice chancellors attendance!
All in all it was a fantastic night! Thank you so much to those who attended and those who worked on the night, and obviously a big thanks to the Arches who let us cause mayhem in their venue.
We raised a lot of money from ticket sales and all the funds will be going towards our final year where we will be showing our work at Graduate Fashion Week. This is a very expensive year where we have to produce a whole collection so starting the fund raising early was a very wise move. So a HUGE thank you to every one that helped make this happen!!
Off the success of this show all i have to say is, roll on the next UEL event!!!
