The up and coming designers of t-shirts and all the other types of clothing such as dresses, pants, skirts, and blouses, are getting a chance to launch their British careers with help. The fledgling designers from De Montfort University (DMU) majoring in Fashion Design will get to participate in Graduate Fashion Week on June 9.

The fashion event takes place at Earls Court II and includes at least 44 universities and other higher education facitlities holding exhibits. But only 18 of the very best student designs will be found on the show's catwalk. Graduate Fashion Week has been a launching pad for several famous designers including Stella McCartney and Julien Macdonald.

One of the more recent DMU students to find early fashion design success is Katie Eary. Ms. Eary greaduated in 2006 and has already had pieces included in the Autumn/Winter 2009 London Fashion Week MAN show. Ms. Eary said, "I learned a lot during my time at DMU and it has really helped me reach my goal of being an independent designer. The lecturers go out of their way for you and really strive to help you to make links with people in the fashion industry. I am really looking forward to seeing DMU's show at GFW and checking out what this year's students have created."

The Graduate Fashion Week is an inspiration for fashion students hoping to carve a career in the highly competitive fashion industry. In the past the student work has captured the interest of world renowned artists such as photogarapher Fabrice Lachant. It is his pictures that appear on DMU fashion school brochures for the last 3 years.
