The seventh annual Graduate Fashion Week Gold Winner has been won.

Rory Longdon, a graduate from Nottingham Trent University won the prestigious award as well as scooping a £20,000 prize.

The gold award winner is 'chosen for demonstrating exceptional facility in design, cut and construction, and excellent use of fabric and colour' - Graduate Fashion Week, 2011.

I was blown away by the sheer workmanship of his collection. Instantly wearable, and though a simple idea, the collection translated into a very cohesive and immaculately constructed set of garments. I adore the fabric choices and the zip detailing is an interesting touch.

Congratulations Rory! I'm sure a very bright future is ahead of you.
