Fred Farrow, ArtEZ

This summer we headed to Arnhem for the graduating crème de la crème in fashion from the Netherlands. That’s the reputation ArtEZ has built up in the past few years. Not only are its collections always jaw-droppingly inventive, ArtEZ is creative location-wise too. One year we crossed the river Nederijn in a ferryboat to a huge industrial unit. This year buses took us to a deserted, slightly freaky location. The first row gave us a perfect view.

During the recent Copenhagen Fashion Week held August 11-15, the first day saw the catwalk show from The Danish Design School, showcasing its seven MA fashion students and a selection of work from its eight Bachelor graduates.

ARTS THREAD takes a look at the collections and shawcases both runway images and the prepared styled shots of the designers.

This was a particularly good year to see some exciting textile design at the New Designers annual showcase of graduate talent. ARTS THREAD rounds up some more of our favourites from 2010.
