Under the direction of Professor Louise Wilson, Central Saint Martin’s Masters in Fashion course has become renowned for nurturing some of the world’s finest design talent. At the recent annual graduate show, AnOther magazine's fashion director, Cathy Edwards, selected six standout A/W 11 collections by: Jenny Postle, Jamie Cockerill, Myrza de Muynck, Phoebe English, Rejina Pyo and Viktor Smedinge. For want of a better way of saying it: watch this space.
Jenny Postle

Rejina Pyo
The designs of Rejina Pyo are a particular favourite of mine. I think this is primarily because I have never seen anything quite like it before. I love her use of the delicate and flowing silks and the tribal shields, creating an otherworldly contrast.
Phoebe English
In Phoebe's own words, these were the influences on her collection:
'It was inspired by a mixture of things: light, gravity and motion. I was trying to explore all of these through developing surfaces, which would communicate against one another to produce an exciting and active image, as well as something interesting to wear.' The results are very striking. Also, the fact that she has created a collection completely in black makes the textures of the designs stand out.
