Harvey Nichols Birmingham has given selected BCU School of Fashion & Textile graduates the opportunity to display their work alongside some of the biggest names in luxury fashion. This year’s striking new window, in the Mailbox, highlights the work of five BA Fashion Design graduates Conor Holmes, Katie Garcha, Sedra Mohan, Rhiannon Chrisene, Shasha Zhang. Alongside striking pieces from BA Jewellery & Object graduates Emily Knight, Ziyi Sun, Annabel Merheim Kealy, Boran Zhang, Same Kellet and Sun Ziyi at the renowned BCU School of Jewellery. Claire Hewitt, General Manager at Harvey Nichols Birmingham said, “It’s our pleasure to provide the students with a platform to exhibit their hard work. The talent this year has blown us away and we love that we have been able to share this with our customers and the wider Mailbox community. We wish this year’s graduates the very best as they enter their careers.” Dean Fallon, Senior Lecturer, BA [Hons] Fashion Design said, “Working with the students, their final year of study really is an emphasis on quality and their individual relevance to industry. An opportunity like this reinforces the demands of our BA Fashion Design course. Showcasing the graduate designs on such a high-profile platform demonstrates both the innovation and standard achieved by the students. We are super proud of the students and extremely grateful to the Harvey Nichols team for curating the showcase and championing the new talent coming out of Birmingham.”
