Fashionista Fiona Proves Old School is a Style Winner

FASHION designer Fiona Fraser is to help Edinburgh pupils put on a catwalk show for a good cause after a parent spotted her fashion credentials in the Evening News.

Fiona recently landed her dream job with the renowned corporate couture firm, NKD Clothing, which provides stylish and bespoke designs to leading UK businesses.

She now leads the company's design team, which has recently swelled its impressive client list by adding Flyglobespan and Fraser Suites Europe.

Previously Fiona graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art with a BA Honours in Design and Applied Art in Printed Textiles for Fashion, before moving to London to work with international fashion label Eley Kishimoto.

The 28-year-old print specialist worked for Eley Kishimoto at top events including London Fashion week.

Fiona's NKD Clothing appointment was published in the Evening News where it was then spotted by a Royal High School parent.

As a result pupils at the Edinburgh school will benefit from Fiona's fashion experience at NKD Clothing when they stage their own fashion show with local businesses in Edinburgh tonight (Thursday 8 October).

Fiona will appear as guest of honour at the event, which has been organised to benefit the Parent Teacher Association, with all funds raised being used to provide vital sports equipment and to ensure every pupil at the school can take part in school trips and outings.

Fiona said: "I was really surprised to be invited - and extremely flattered as well.

"Someone at the school had read about my appointment to NKD Clothing and with my fashion background, thought it would be a good idea to invite me along.

"I'm really forward to the evening and hoping that my experience working at NKD Clothing and previously at events such as London Fashion week will help to inspire the Royal High School pupils whilst raising funds at the same time."

Jane Frith, Depute Rector of the school said: "This is one of the biggest social events in the school calendar. It's glamorous, exciting and edgy and the pupils and parents, who have helped to organize the event, have put everything into it.

"We're delighted to have landed someone of Fiona's calibre as guest of honour, particularly since she is working with an Edinburgh-based company which is a real leader in fashion design for the workplace."

Every Fashion Designer needs to be able to sew their garments themselves. Being able to make what you can think up is very important, because once you have this down, you actually understand how the body works. Fashion designing isn’t just drawing. Its a lot of other things as well. You need to understand the body, so yo can design better. These two things compliment each other. Its why its a very integral part of any fashion design curriculum in schools.

Prestigious meaning exclusive and sophisticated?.Creams are always good; it’s nice to have small, simple patterns that just create a subtle sense of texture on your material.
Black and white are much more dramatic but also serve the same purpose. If you want a couture piece use black and white instead of creams and pale colors. Dramatic red can work too.

I thing the AI chain of schools doesn’t have a good rep in the industry. FIDM, which is big and popular, also has a poor rep. The best fashion design program in CA is at Otis College of Art, in Los Angeles.

This is unquestioned that the masters term paper writing service can compose the supreme custom research paper for persons which don’t have writing skills. That would be the best way out for such kind of people, I do opine!
