Tweed! Ballet! New design! 

'Glasgow School of Art took over the city's cult club The Arches for its annual undergraduate fashion show to let third year Textiles and Fashion Design students catwalk their latest creations.
The former class were given the Ballets Russes The Rite Of Spring as its inspiration point while the latter was told to produce garments using Harris Tweed in a modern way.'

 The Glasgow School of Art Catwalk Show
'HARRIS Tweed outfits and dance infused costumes were among the design unveiled at the Glasgow School of Art Catwalk Show, as students showed off their work to a packed audience at The Arches last night.
Chunky-knitted dresses and accessories were also exhibited by 55 students who used print, knit, embroidery and weave in their creations.
And on the catwalk were fashions inspired by Igor Stravinsky’s most famous ballet The Rite of Spring – which scandalised the Parisian audience at its premiere 100 years ago – and which will be worn by dancers from the Royal Conservatoire of Glasgow in a special performance at the Tramway theatre in May.
“The fashion show is an institution that’s been going on since the 1940s” said third year student Izzy Rainey.
“It’s a tradition because everyone makes their pieces specifically for the show and there’s a different theme every year.”'


The Rite of Fashion

Thanks to The Herald Scotland for their piece on our packed opening night, featuring a some beautiful shots of our work.

'The latest cohort of Glasgow School of Art textiles students may as well have sent their models pirouetting onto the catwalk at The Arches venue in Glasgow wearing designs inspired by costumes for Ballet Russes' performances of Stravinsky's ballet, The Rite of Spring.'
