Student Clara Gröning wins Burberry x LCF student competition
Burberry has revealed the results of a new student competition that reinforces its 'focus on circularity through design'. It has partnered with the Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF), based at the London College of Fashion (LCF) on 'Reimagining Materials'. Inspired by its history of product craftsmanship, it saw fashion students working with members of Burberry's creative and commercial teams to explore the theme of circularity. 'The competition provided students from LCF with an opportunity to showcase their creativity through a series of review sessions, while learning from Burberry's product experts,' the company said. Over a couple of months, 20 shortlisted students were challenged with a brief to present 'new and exciting ways of reinventing surplus materials, including Burberry's trench gabardine, Burberry Check lining fabric, leather and a selection of trims, into original products'. There were portfolio and prototype review sessions and an educational workshop on the brand's heritage and house codes, with the students' designs then being were judged by a panel of representatives from the luxury giant's Product, Digital and Merchandising teams, and members of CSF's Knowledge Exchange team. The winning design belongs to Clara Gröning, BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development student at LCF. As well as receiving a cash prize, Gröning will join Burberry for an internship this autumn. Supported by Burberry's Early Careers team, the 'Reimagining Materials' programme builds on a range of initiatives that it offers to help 'talented young people and recent graduates gain first-hand experience alongside industry professionals', including its recent collaboration with the National Saturday Club and partnership with The BRIT School.
