Meeting the Brains Behind Graduate Fashion Week New York

As Graduate Fashion Week takes New York, I am granted a special audience with its organizers, Martyn Roberts, Managing and Creative Director, and Hilary Alexander OBE, industry trustee, whose schedule this week is packed with meetings with schools, industry, and the press. They have just returned from a breakfast thrown by Ralph Lauren in the penthouse of his Madison Avenue HQ during which executives from Michael Kors, Rag & Bone, Target, and Calvin Klein among others gathered to view the work of the selected 10 graduates, six from UK schools, four from the US.
