TOPSHOP & TOPMAN GET FRESH! IN SINGAPORE
TOPSHOP & TOPMAN present Fresh! - The Graduate Showcase
Saturday 13 October 2007, 3pm, VivoCity Central Court
In an almost unprecedented move, Topshop and Topman have confirmed their sponsorship of Fresh! - The Graduate Showcase. This is the first time the British fashion retailer is sponsoring a talent spotting event in Asia, and only the second time outside of the United Kingdom, after Sweden in 2006.
Re-branded and re-worked, the talent-spotting show is making its second stint as a key component of SINGAPORE FASHION WEEK 2007 this October.
Four design schools - LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Raffles Design Institute and Temasek Polytechnic - will come together in a collective effort to present their top graduates and the best of their student fashion work.
Culled from their graduating students and presented in three main categories of womenswear, menswear and mixed collections respectively, the four schools will submit five entries for each of the three categories. There will be an international panel of judges and prizes will be awarded for the best collection in each category. The 13 finalists will compete for an internship to the UK design headquarters.
In London, Topshop is the single biggest supporter of young fashion designers in the industry. Recent sponsorships include the New Generation Award sponsored at London Fashion Week since 1999. For four years, it sponsored London's Graduate Fashion Week in support of young talent at grass roots level.
