UKFT has launched Made It, a collaboration between the trade body, Graduate Fashion Week and Marks & Spencer designed to bring together graduate designers and UK manufacturers. As part of the initiative, which was launched at a reception at the Houses of Parliament last night, Marks & Spencer and the UKFT will sponsor a number of Graduate Fashion Week winners to have their collections made in the UK. In addition, to promote a better understanding of UK manufacturers and to encourage designers to use them as their preferred source of manufacturing, the UKFT, Marks & Spencer and Graduate Fashion Week will host a series of Masterclasses at five select universities across the country. Hosted by Damian Collins MP, UKFT and Graduate Fashion Week, the reception included a catwalk show and was attended by key policy makers, industry influencers, major retailers, leading brands and UK manufacturers, with special guests including Graduate Fashion Week ambassadors Alesha Dixon, Mandi Lennard and Caryn Franklin as well as designer Zandra Rhodes and fashion critic Suzy Menkes. “The UK has some of the best designer graduates in the world and some of the most talented manufacturers – Made It brings them together. Not only will we see the creation of some stunning collections, the project will also help to ensure the success of the next generation in understanding the business of fashion, which is a fundamental part of UKFT’s purpose and key whether you are developing a new brand, working with manufacturers or growing business overseas,” said UKFT chairman Nigel Lugg. Graduate Fashion Week managing director Martyn Roberts said the initiative was “a wonderful opportunity” for GFW students to get first hand knowledge and experience of working with British manufacturers. “These are vital skills for fashion design graduates and essential for keeping Britain at the forefront of design,” he said.Read more at:http://www.marieaustralia.com/bridesmaid-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/red-carpet-celebrity-dresses

Winter Fog and mist from Winter Hill drew over West Pennines it blew over moorland gorse and bracken into soot filled chimneys it did blacken Through howling wind and driving snow dogwalkers walk in degrees below The water flows freely down Pick up bank Thunderous skies miserable and dank Spring The hard winter doth disappear The flowering buds reappear Starlings arrive cometh May lighter nights here to stay Food plentiful rodents group Barn Owls prepare the swoop The green grass grow, the wind dies down Darwen Tower sentinel over Town Summer The heat of summer finally here barbecues ready flowing of beer The Moorland cattle graze Too much sun Moorland ablaze Families depart summer vacation Off they fly to foreign nation on their return they did miss Beautiful Darwen land of bliss Autumn Autumn brings forth first frost Final sign summers lost leaves fall russet yellowy reds Butterflies and Bumblebees prepare their beds Autumnal warmth bereft of heat Hoddesden walks crunchy underfeet Washing lines away , Out tumble driers Kids collecting wood for their bonfires Martyn Grindrod

Springs first morning Freshness unmistaking The larks early call Their singing did befall A roving along this wondrous path I viewed a chiselled epitaph Etched into splendid Larch Read 'beware the Ides of March' Perhaps a soothsayers warning Was unexpected this Spring morning This is so nondescript Had I stumbled upon a Crypt This isn't a Roman arch It's merely a tree of Larch This is not ancient Rome This is not a catacomb Twas the 15th day of March I found the secret of the Larch Words weren't scribed by t'other factors than a mere plethora of actors It was the scene of a play of Ceasers fateful day where Brutus and Cassius hatched a plan to **** Julius A roving first day of Spring Where Butterflies Flutter, bees did sting Down wondrous path i passed Where Ceaser breathed his last Martyn Grindrod
