To hugs and cheers, our first year fashion students brought their first term to a close with a showstopping White Show 2022. In this Central Saint Martins tradition, BA Fashion students are tasked with creating a head-to-toe garment using only white materials, for a catwalk show directed, styled and entirely produced by first year BA Fashion Communication and Promotion. With the Playground as their backstory, students were invited to find a sixth sense in fashion, emphasising the process of play and sensory experimentation.
An explosion of imagination and collaboration, 161 highly individual looks came together on the catwalk and streamed out into the world, in a hypnotic preview of this group’s collective consciousness. On a pilgrimage beyond time, place and space, models walked to swirling techno, showcasing form, fit, construction, materials, craft - and the extreme joy of make-believe.
The show was featured in Vogue Runway, ES Magazine, 1Granary and supported by AnOther Magazine, Perfect Magazine and SHOWStudio. Sarah Mower wrote in Vogue:
