Thirty-three students from the prestigious RCA School of Fashion, the world’s only wholly postgraduate fashion school, presented their creations to the press and industry bigwigs via a special fashion show. The designers showcased menswear and womenswear for the experts to scrutinize and determine whether there’s marketability behind these items.

The menswear creations were reportedly inspired from “Crash,” a novel by J.G. Ballard. The clothing were inspired by the hip-hop culture among others. The designers have silver and copper metal yarns that were woven into tailored suits.

Meanwhile, the womenswear creations include robes and tunics that were designed with several porcupine quills, silk and handmade silk roses.

Other accessories have been presented during the fashion show with items made out of silicone, bamboo and leather.

Former Vogue Editor Madge Garland founded the RCA’s Fashion department in 1948. Some of the popular graduates of the school are Bill Gibb, Antony Price and Christopher Bailey.
