The ‘Opening Space’ online exhibition showcases the work of final year students from across fashion design, fashion communication and fashion business specialisms.
Officially launched online on the 7th of June, ‘Opening Space’ brings together students’ work in a virtual space to exhibit their dedication, talent and hard work. It is the second digital show the Manchester Fashion Institute has produced.
“We look forward to celebrating the hard work of this unique cohort, hearing their stories and looking forward to a positive future. We are extremely proud to also be taking part in this year’s Graduate Fashion Week and London Fashion Week.”
