“The invitation to exhibit at the event has come as a result of our exhibition at Alexandra Palace and promises to provide a wealth of valuable contacts.

“The event also incorporates lectures and workshops, alongside catwalk shows, and our exhibition stand will display current fashion design work.”

The week after, art and design students from King’s Ely Senior will showcase their work at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds.

The exhibition is running at the gallery, based in Charter Square, from September 26 to October 19. It will be open daily from 10am-4pm and admission is free.
