Hannah Tindle speaks to four fresh graduates tipped as names you’ll soon know Central Saint Martins. Those three words have conjured some of the greatest names the fashion world has known. Its teaching methods and strong encouragement of ‘boundary pushing’ have led to an almost sacred reputation among art and design schools, w ith the fashion programmes tipped as some of the toughest and most notorious.
Legend perhaps truly began when John Galliano graduated from the school with his 1984 Les Incroyables BA collection. From its days on Charing Cross Road (the old building is now a rather sanitised Foyles bookshop, but oh what those walls must have seen) up until it moved to its current home in Granary Square in 2011, each year the fashion crowd flocks to see the end-of-course presentations and nose at what the next generation of design talent has been dreaming up in its studios.
