Teacher Selina Moore said: ‘Representatives from the fashion industry visit the exhibition to find new talent, but it’s also a fantastic resource for us to see what is new in terms of materials and techniques as well as portfolio inspiration. After the exhibition we went to the Design Museum to look at products that have been developed over time. It was interactive, allowing students to use an interactive wardrobe, a bit like the one seen in the film Clueless, learning material theory on an interactive quiz, as well as about the products and designers that will be on the GCSE specification. The students had a great day seeing where a textiles GCSE can lead to.’
