CSPVA's annual Fashion Show
Previous sponsors include:
Jean Paul Gaultier - Julien Macdonald - Ben de Lisi - Valentino - Philip Treacy - Katharine Hamnett - Betty Jackson - Vivienne Westwood - Levis Strauss - Burberry
CSVPA's annual fashion show has become a potential launch pad for a successful career in fashion. Each year one of the world's leading designers sponsors the show and sets a theme for students to respond to - for some students this has led to work experience opportunities with those designers.
Our Art & Design Foundation students progress to fashion degrees at Central St Martins, London College of Fashion, Istituto Marangoni and other prestigious fashion courses including our own BA (Hons) Fashion. Former students have gone on to careers with Galliano at Christian Dior, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton.

2011 saw our biggest Fashion Show ever, held at The Cambridge Corn Exchange.It was a show of two parts. The experimental and exuberant work from the Foundation students and the mature, fashion forward, beautifully made work from the degree students.
This year’s show also included an external project set by Barbour, who challenged the students to design a range of Barbour outfits aimed at the high end fashion market.
Highlights of the evening included the individual work of Hiromi Matsuki, the designer label Barbour collection, the pure white geometric collection and of course the finale wedding dress by Ryuki Yamaga.
