The College is delighted to have Scotland's leading independent Investment Manager, Baillie Gifford, as the Lead Sponsor of the Fashion Show this year.

Nigel Morecroft, Partner at Baillie Gifford, said, “As a major employer in Edinburgh, we are delighted to support major entities, such as Edinburgh College of Art, which represent artistic excellence and innovation in their own fields.”

Edinburgh audiences will see our stunning fashion collections before they go on the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week in London in June and, of course, they get the exclusive show of the final work of our graduating students in Performance Costume and Textiles. The combination of work we showcase on the catwalk makes the Edinburgh College of Art Fashion Show truly unique, and we are grateful to our sponsors for their support of young design talent in Scotland. ‘
