Saint Martin'S New Starting Point (Chart)

Recently, the London Central Saint Martin School of art and design held its annual graduation show, and the famous school also announced the relocation plan.

Over the past 70 years, Saint Martin has been in the heart of London Charing Cross, the new school site is located at King 's Cross, with a total area of 39000 square meters. The principal Jane Rapley described it as "an opportunity to rethink Saint Martin's future education direction."

She also said that the new building was very exciting for her. Next year's Saint Martin life show could be held in a new performance center. There were spacious studios and rehearsals, and maybe even a The Strip with pparent roofs.

Therefore, this year's Saint Martin graduation show also has a special commemorative significance.

Before the official start, a video was displayed on the stage to review the learning and life of Saint Martin students in the Charing Cross school building from 1939 to now.

Today's hottest designer, Alexander McQueen's former helper, today's successor, Sarah Burton, is in the front row of the show.

Her wedding dress designed for Kate Middleton made her sit in the Saint Martin alumni Hall of fame.

"My mentor taught me not to give up and keep working hard."

Burton talks about her mentor, Saint Martin Gibson, a senior lecturer in fashion printing at Natalie.

Gibson said frankly that she was "very nervous" about the relocation after two months.

As we all know, Saint Martin has nurtured a large number of excellent fashion designers, including Christopher Kane, Gareth Pugh, Jonathan Saunders and so on. Moreover, this school not only represents the British fashion and art standard, but also attracts more and more outstanding young people from all over the world.

Looking back at this year's graduation show, you can find many examples.

Japanese designer Ryohei Kawanishi uses craftsmanship and ecological concepts to create unique materials, both avant-garde and functional.

The rich texture of knitwear and sky prints is the theme of everlasting prosperity.

Italy designer Flaminia Saccucci has presented a series of latex and leather materials printed with natural and tyres patterns. This imaginative and well trained series has won a design award from L'OREAL throughout the year.

The news of Saint Martin's move inevitably brings up a collective Nostalgia on the current graduation show.

Many people recall the John Galliano's graduation series inspired by "Les Incroyables" in 1984 (a group of young men who talk and act in a peculiar fashion) during the French government.

"They are quite different."

Browns department store's female head, famous buyer Joan Burstein recalls.

In those days, she bought the whole series and put it in the window of Browns.

Ms. Saint Martin, who has worked for 24 years in Rapley, is most memorable of her graduation show of Hussein Chalayan in 1993. In contrast, she feels that 1992's McQueen graduation show is not particularly prominent.
