Debenhams

Debenhams is the headline sponsor for Graduate Fashion Week 2025 – and here are all the best pieces from last year’s winners’ collections…

We’re thrilled to announce that Debenhams is the headline sponsor of Graduate Fashion Week 2025, starting Friday 13th June – and all the excitement is making us want to reminisce about last year’s event.

We’re counting down the days to this year’s celebrations with a lookback at the 2024 winners’ collections, complete with interesting shapes, clashing patterns, and a whole lot more to ensure you’re making a statement wherever you go.

Straight from Graduate Fashion Week to Debenhams Assistant Designer, Sonny Matthews’ Burton collection is inspired by autumns spent with family in the south of France, comprising creams, sunsets and sunrise tones to reflect the sky’s shades at both times of the day. The collection plays with multi-toned camo prints, relaxed fit shirts and tailored trousers that are the epitome of essential summer style.

Ivy Chow

Manchester Metropolitan university graduate and Debenhams' new Design Assistant, Ivy Chow served a series of up-and-coming looks on the Graduate Fashion Week runway last year.

Ivy’s collection was inspired by classical art and draped sculptures from the Roman era, but with a modern, timeless twist – utilising sharp tailoring, relaxed silhouettes and contemporary style.

SHOP IVY'S COLLECTION

Graduating from Manchester Fashion Institute with a BA in Fashion Design, Ellie McMahon has since joined Team Debenhams as Print Design Assistant, following her Graduate Fashion Week ‘Catwalk to Collection’ win in 2024.

Ellie's Collection

Ellie’s collection is inspired by her original designs, playing with prints, patterns and textures to create an elevated wardrobe with a unique point of view. More lines are dropping very soon too – so watch this space…
