Creative Industries students at Kingston College brought the academic year to a spectacular close with the End of Year Fashion Show 2026 - an inspiring celebration of creativity, innovation and technical skill. The College’s light-filled atrium set the perfect scene as Fashion, Textiles & Costume students debuted final-year collections to an invited audience of family, friends and industry guests. Alongside the fashion collections, Media Make Up students showcased their Glamorous Beasts project, transforming models with creative hair and make-up designs inspired by the fusion of wild, animalistic elements and high-fashion glamour.
The diverse range of garments showcased the individuality and artistic vision of each designer, with pieces reflecting bold experimentation and thoughtful craftsmanship. From elegant couture to conceptual textiles, the collections captured the essence of contemporary fashion education.
The event was a dynamic cross-disciplinary collaboration, with Technical Theatre, Music, Media and Fashion students working seamlessly behind the scenes to deliver an immersive and professional production. Their combined talent and teamwork made for an unforgettable show and a fitting celebration of achievement and creativity across departments.
Nadira Osborne, Media & Make Up Lecturer, proudly commented: "Our Year 1 Production Arts - Media Make Up worked collaboratively as a professional Make Up and Hair department. Students designed and executed their looks on the catwalk, on screen and photographically, styling their models from head to toe. Many also created intricate, handcrafted pieces to enhance their concepts. Throughout the project, students proudly demonstrated the breadth of their technical abilities while gaining valuable real-world experience.”
