Fab Flash: Julien MacDonald Joins Graduate Fashion Week Panel
Just under twelve hours to go until the gala show at the end of Graduate Fashion Week awards the best young designers from 48 universities and colleges from across the UK. Exciting then that another established designer should be joining the panel as today it was announced that Julien MacDonald would be joining Claudia Schiffer, Lorraine Candy (editor of Elle UK) and River Island's Richard Bradbury.
If winning alone wasn't enough, the winning student will get a £20,000 prize, the chance to work at River Island and a lot of publicity.
Graduate Fashion Week 2008: Day Two

Every single graduate showing at this year's Graduate Fashion Week has worked incredibly hard and deserves great applause. However, although this is not physically possible, I will strive to bring you the most up to date news about this year's graduating class.
