"And trust, they did. Serving innovation with a side of immaculate craft, this new-gen lineup came through with collections that felt personal, political, and a little bit feral (in the best way). Think obsessive handwork colliding with slick contemporary processes, all filtered through lenses of climate anxiety, digital culture, identity, and the general chaos of now. Nothing safe. Nothing predictable."
"Each designer brought a fully-formed world to the runway, built from deep-dive research, technical finesse, and that kind of unteachable instinct you can't fake. It's fashion that thinks, questions, experiments... and still looks hot. Backed by serious industry links and a globally switched-on perspective, these grads aren't just leaving with degrees, they're leaving industry-ready, future-facing, and low-key ready to disrupt the whole system."
"Three highlights included a chrome-core warrior energy ensemble. A flash of molten gold wrapped tight up top, slick and severe, then boom, inky navy volume swishing below. It's giving medieval knights stuck in a club bathroom at 3 AM. Armour, but make it hot. Look, two go full soft chaos. Blush-pink puff exploding off the body in giant, candyfloss bows and balloon sleeves. Hyper-femme, hyper-dramatic, zero chill. She's not entering the room; she's consuming it."
MA Fashion Design graduates from the University of Salford presented at London Fashion Week in February 2026 with bold, rigorously crafted collections. The lineup combined obsessive handwork and contemporary processes, engaging themes of climate anxiety, digital culture, identity, and present-day chaos. Each designer delivered a fully formed runway world supported by deep research, technical finesse, and instinct. Standout looks included a chrome-core warrior ensemble, voluminous blush-pink hyper-feminine pieces, and a deranged Pilgrim-core with sculpted speckled coats and bonnet elements. Strong industry connections and global perspectives position the graduates as industry-ready, future-facing talent poised to disrupt conventional fashion norms.
