In May, more than 170 BA Fashion students showcased their graduate collections, marking the culmination of weeks of hard work and creativity. These collections featured an array of techniques, including hotfixing, gluing, sewing, and, in one remarkable instance, growing deadstock Preciosa crystals onto garments. This collaboration underscores Preciosa's dedication to fostering innovative design while promoting sustainable practices in the fashion industry. By repurposing deadstock crystals, Preciosa and Central Saint Martins are setting a shining example of how creativity and sustainability can go hand in hand.
