THE British Fashion Council Education Foundation has today announced the four recipients of its fashion MA scholarships for this year.
The students who will benefit from the programme, which aims to improve access into fashion study and employment, for 2016 are Cassandra Verity Green from Central Saint Martins who will study the MA Fashion Womenswear (Accessories) course at the Royal College of Art; Cavan McPherson from CSM, who will study the MA Fashion Womenswear (Knitwear) course at the RCA; Geraint Brian Lewis from the University of South Wales, who will study the Menswear MA course at University of Westminster; and Yasemin Cakli who will stay at the University of Westminster to study the Menswear MA course.
Emma Farrow, head of design at Finery; Nabil Nayal, designer and former scholarship recipient; and Sarah Mower MBE, BFC ambassador for emerging talent, made up this year's judging panel.
London-based designer Erdem Moralioglu, a previous recipient of the scholarship who this year joined the scheme's funders, said of supporting the programme: "I was lucky enough to win the scholarship whilst studying at the Royal College of Art. Looking back I understand how important that was for me then and what’s important to me now is that others can benefit at a similar stage in their development."
