It's always a challenge to show the work of a group of designers ranging in ideas and attitudes within one show and create a unified catwalk show. With the help of So Damm Tuff models, Northbrook College pulled it off and showed an outstanding collection that thrilled the audience.

Beginning with a fresh take on school uniforms with classic Billy Bunter blazers worn with long tailored shorts (part of the Baird Menswear sponsored project) the show moved from the playground into the street with Julian Fuller's 'Blue/Brown Hip Hop' collection and Patrick Grandin's 'US sportswear meets UK Pubwear'.

Mittens appeared dangling from the ends of tailored belted jackets. Bradley McGlone's 'Mods Not Rockers' features a fresh interpretation of Parkas in groovy shades of stone and blue. Simon Thom's 'Nature Trails' experiments with fleece jumpers, and windcheaters which give a modern take on the rambler look.
