The future of fashion begins long before the runways of Paris, Milan or London Fashion Week. It begins in studios, workshops and graduate showcases where young designers take their first bold steps into the industry.

The Parliamentary Society for Arts, Fashion & Sports was delighted to feature the remarkable talent of the University of Westminster Fashion Design Class WESTMINSTER FASHION of 2026 in a recent article by our Chairwoman, Rebeca Riofrio .

This year’s showcase brought together 22 graduating designers whose collections explored identity, heritage, sustainability, craftsmanship, innovation and cultural storytelling. The level of creativity, technical excellence and originality on display was truly inspiring and a powerful reminder of why supporting emerging talent remains so important.

Among the talented designers featured were:

737
