Graduate Fashion Foundation x Liberty Fabrics Competition

Graduate Fashion Foundation is excited to share that we're partnering with Liberty Fabrics to celebrate 150 years of Liberty London and their Spring Summer ‘26 Floral Rebellion collection!

With our shared values of individuality and self expression, we're excited to give final-year students from our member universities the opportunity to design a series of garments using the new collection - a competition that will shortlist 40 designs to receive the fabric to bring the vision to life. These designs will be part of an innovative catwalk show during Graduate Fashion Week 2026, with three final winners selected to receive a day's mentorship with the Liberty Fabrics team, a £1,000 prize fund, and a Liberty goody bag.

This competition is open to all final-year BA Fashion or Textiles students from Graduate Fashion Week Member Universities in the UK and internationally - if in doubt, please ask your tutor.

Be rebellious and subvert the norm – recognise heritage through a different lens.

Excited to participate? Reach out to your tutor for the full brief!

The competition closes on Friday 16th January 2026.
