Congratulations to Norwich University of the Arts students Zara Tuck and Lillie Westgate for their awards at Graduate Fashion Week 2024 which took place at Truman Brewery, London.rn
Zara Tuck won The Terry Mansfield Fashion Publication Award for her project, Once Girls. Zara Tuck said:
“For my final project, I created Once Girls magazine to provide comfort to young girls aged 13-17 and help them to navigate their most formative years. I noticed a decline in teen culture in recent years; often, media is created about teenage girls, but not for them. I especially felt that young girls are heavily underserved by fashion publications and I wanted to change this. The publication is created for Gen-Z, by Gen-Z: this deliberate approach was chosen to ensure each piece of content resonates authentically with the target audience. Through collaborating with diverse Gen-Z creatives, Once Girls provides an array of perspectives on the topic of girlhood.”
Lillie Westgate won the Norwich University of the Arts Fashion Presentation and her collection went onto exhibit in the Best of Graduate Fashion Week 2024. Lillie Westgate said:
“The Shoe Makers is a graduate collection centred around the rich trade and shoe making history within Norfolk and Norwich. The collection is heavily inspired by traditional, minimalistic workwear mixed with the use of durable and timeless fabrics. The story portrayed through the collection imagines what a working family would have worn when making a living in shoe factories in the early to mid 1900s, intertwining classic silhouettes with a natural modernistic design aesthetic to tie the past and present together. The collection holds nostalgic tones, reminiscing upon the never forgotten history of our fine city, Norwich.”
