Sixteen GSA Fashion and Textiles design students are to show looks from their 3rdyear collections in Taiwan next month it was revealed today, 3 April 2019
The students, who unveiled their collections at the Fashion Show earlier this month, will now have their designs showcased on the runway in Songshan Tobacco Factory, Taipei as part of Shin Chien University Graduate Show.
Head of Fashion +Textiles, Jimmy Stephen-Cran and 3rdyear Textile Design student Johnny Mackinnon will be heading out to Taipei for the show which will take place on 18 and 19 April, and Jimmy Stephen-Cran will on the judging committee for the Tapei event
The relationship between Shin Chien university and the GSA dates back many years and most years at least one student from the university comes of Glasgow to study on the Master of Fashion and Textiles Programme. Meanwhile GSA specialist tutor in knit, Leigh Bagley, has taught workshops at the university. However, this is the first time that undergraduate students have been invited to show their designs in Taiwan.
“The first PhD student that I supervised at GSA went to on to become a professor at Shin Chien,”says Jimmy Stephen-Cran,“and it has been a great pleasure to continue the relationship between our two institutions.”
“This is a tremendous opportunity for our students to showcase their designs on the international stage,” he adds
“I am incredibly humbled to be selected by my peers and tutors to take our looks to Taiwan,”adds Johnny Mackinnon. “This is a big deal and I aim to do all of the 3rd year F&T students justice whilst there. I am very proud of our department and school and looking forward to imparting some of that pride in Taipei.”
