“I’ve only been here a few weeks but already I feel I belong – much more than I did in secondary school. There’s so much more freedom – and the staff care about you. It’s much more pastoral. Eventually I want to do avant-garde high fashion – sculpture – fashion as the art of the body. There’s nothing here to hold me back.”
Pre Degree’s Annual Summer Show offers students the opportunity to showcase their achievements to press, industry and the viewing public.
