Mulberry Accessories Award winner Kitty Keay, Colchester School of Art, Design & Media

The Mulberry Accessories Award went to Kitty Keay from Colchester School of Art, Design & Media and was presented by Emma Hill, Creative Director of Mulberry. Emma Hill chose the collection as it was ‘full of charm and wit – just adore those Teddy Bears! Kitty told us her collection took inspiration from Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and Moschino Cheap & Chic.

The two runner-up finalists included Angharad Griffiths from Northumbria University Fashion Design whose collection explored ‘Lost Values’, to make a statement about ethical fashion through printed garments and fabric manipulation. The second finalist was Jessica Dance from the Arts University College Bournemouth. Jessica’s project was based on her ‘overactive imagination and love for animals.’ Looking at hibernating animals, Jessica’s drawings led directly to the development of her accessories.
