We’re pleased to announce that our faces of Graduate Fashion Week for 2010 are Kelis and Ashley Banjo! Kelis and Ashley are both big supporters of young talent so they are the perfect ambassadors for this year’s GFW designs.



Both Kelis and Ashley have modelled the River Island pieces created by designers who studied at Graduate Fashion Week universities before coming to work with us. For now we can only give you a sneak preview of their GFW shoots BUT we’re sure you’ll be happy to hear that images, interviews and videos are on their way! Watch this space for more in the coming weeks!

As this is our sixth year as title sponsor of Graduate Fashion Week, we thought we’d give you the chance to win some amazing prizes here on Style Insider.



One lucky winner and a friend will be treated to the ultimate fashionista prize package which includes an all expenses paid trip to London; a full makeover, including a haircut and colour, beauty treatments and make-up; a £250 River Island shopping spree with a personal shopper; tickets to Graduate Fashion Week’s Gala fashion show; and dinner and guestlist entry to a top London night spot.

2010 will mark our sixth year as title sponsor of Graduate Fashion Week. Graduate Fashion Week is THE fashion event of the summer and the biggest of its kind in the world. Established fashion names, journalists and talent scouts all head to London’s Earls Court to check out the crème de la crème of new design talent. This year’s event will run from 6th – 10th June and will showcase students design collections from around 50 of the top fashion institutes across the UK and overseas.
