Access all areas at London Fashion Week for student competition winners

One of London’s newest and most exciting fashion schools and London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) partner, School of Fashion and Design London (SFD London), this week hosted three lucky competition winners at the prestigious London Fashion Weekend. Spending the weekend immersed into the world of fashion, the event offered winners a host of networking opportunities to enhance their portfolio and future career prospects.

To win, fashionistas and budding designers uploaded pictures of their individual fashion styles to SFD London’s Facebook page, with the talented winners chosen by the most votes received votes over four weeks. Designed to give promising fashion designers the opportunity to gain vital networks needed to achieve their career ambitions in an industry where networking is essential, SFD aims to give all its students the right platforms and connections to turn their unique talents and ideas into pioneering careers.

SFD London is committed to giving its students the necessary platforms and connections to develop their career prospects.

London Fashion Weekend experience

Gaining access to the international fashion event, all three winners, Lucy Rance, Colline Muchets and Whitney Mwaanga, praised SFD London for giving them the opportunity. Muchets, who defined her winning fashion style as “simple, girly and flirty”, said: “I’m really looking forward to this evening to see what everyone is wearing… what interests me most about fashion is the way everybody puts all their pieces together, it’s amazing that so many different people can carry off different styles.”

Describing her winning style as “bold, crazy and wacky”, Mwaanga added: “I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone is wearing and finding out how their style is influenced by their culture and where they come from.” Finally, fashion blogger Rance labelled her winning style as “different and eclectic” and said London Fashion Weekend was “an opportunity to get inspiration from other people”.
