Will you benefit from Stella McCartney's scholarship opportunity at Central Saint Martins?

CarrieMe takes its hat off to Stella McCartney, who having just received her Honorary Fellowship from the University of Arts London, announced she will be funding a fashion scholarship for exceptional MA students at Central Saint Martins (CSM) - and as London is such a cosmopolitan city, its open to all nationalities, yeeeehhh!

As a 1995 CSM graduate, she describes her experience there as "life changing" - yet with UK university tuition fees going up dramatically, many young creative talents are unable to access it, so Stella is doing more than just talking about nurturing creative talent in Britain, she's literally putting her money where her mouth is... and is encouraging other fashion houses to do the same.

More good news - the scholarship opportunity also includes a 1 year paid placement working at the Stella McCartney House - now that really is exciting, wish I could turn the clock back and apply to CSM course next year!

Mathew Harding and Levi Palmer met at Central St Martins, where Mathew studied womenswear whereas Levi focused on menswear having previously studied womenswear and pattern-cutting at El Centro College in the States.  Are they the next Dolce & Gabbana?

Originally from China, he previously worked for my favourite brand Dior and found his own label after graduating from Central St Martins. He uses his imagination by mixing Eastern and Western cultural elements in his clothings.  Love his funky mix of cultural elements!

She also studied at Central St Martin specializing in knitwears and has worked for big names including Joseph and Bally. I like her designs - she turns knitwears into elegant clothing. What creativity!



Sophia Webster

Last but definitely not least - who could ever forget Sophia Webster's amazing shoes if you'd ever clapped eyes on one. Can't wait to see more of these on the catwalk!  

So is your favourite?  Its a big debate here at CarrieMe... what a difficult choice to make!
