Claudia Schiffer and fellow models Erin O' Connor and Amber Le Bon were among the stellar turnout for last night's Graduate Fashion Week show.
They were giving out prizes at Earls Court to the student stars of tomorrow, alongside designers Matthew Williamson and Giles Deacon.
Overall winner on the night was Myrto Samou from UCA Rochester, who scooped both the Womenswear award and the River Island Gold award, which includes a Ł20,000 cash prize as well as business support. Samou's collection impressed the judges with its restraint and dazzling technical ability.
Manchester Metropolitan University's Sarah Burton won the Pringle of Scotland Knitwear award.
