Fashion's version of the United Nations as The International Show opens day two of Graduate Fashion Week The cream of the world's top fashion colleges showcased their collections at Graduate Fashion Week today for a judging panel of leading industry insiders. Mix together 11 countries, about 20 different languages, 16 different colleges and universities and what do you get? A happy, hi-tech, hectic melting pot of styles, cultures and inspirations. The International Show was Graduate Fashion Week's recipe for global success, bringing together 20 'best-in-show' final-year student collections from Turkey, Taiwan, Israel, Japan, America, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Norway, and Pakistan on one catwalk. Fencing and surgical-look collections vied with pom-pom spacesuits and plywood dresses. Dandy-ish girls' tailoring was juxtaposed with his 'n' hers floral appliqués in organza. A barefoot 'Nirvana' bride contrasted with Islamic-style lace veiling which encased the models' entire bodies. And spiral hats clashed with the spiked and encrusted 'one eye' helmets of futuristic samurais.
