Thirty-six universities participated in the four-day fashion show, which was held at the Truman Brewery in Shoreditch.

Pieces designed by UEL graduate students Josephine Bloom, Krishma Sabbarwal, Irishi Hysa, Iqra Din and Justine Zamora were featured on the first day of the event.

The university, which has campuses in Stratford and the Royal Docks, also hosted its own booth, where visitors could look at student work and ask questions about course offerings.

Graduate Fashion Week was founded in 1991 to help promote new talent and aims to bridge the gap between graduation and employment.

Famous alumni of Graduate Fashion Week include Christopher Bailey, Stella McCartney, Giles Deacon, Matthew Williamson and Julien Macdonald.
