Lauren Smith of Edinburgh college of Art picked up the George Gold award at the #GFW Gala on Wednesday. Her collection captured a dreamy palette of subtle blues, clean whites and pops of yellow, worked across an innovative silhouette, noting layering, off-kilter details and structured fabrications as key features – this girl is definitely one to watch.

We visited the annual Bunka Fashion College open day in Tokyo for their fascinating show produced by students across all courses. Titled Energy Flow, this year’s show was divided into 10 different scenes, inspired by student illustrations. Here we see one of a range of futuristic architectural dresses with metallic geometric cutting and angular constructions.
