Details have been announced of the Morton Fraser Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) Fashion Show 2008, due to take place on Wednesday 7 and Friday 9 May in the College’s Sculpture Court.

The show is set to open with a tailoring and accessories collection, made exclusively from a range of Scottish fabrics. The collection will feature the work of 14 graduating Fashion students, each of whom has created a garment from woven fabrics manufactured by Borders-based company Lochcarron of Scotland.

The show will also feature a variety of bespoke headpieces – made by the students under the tuition of Edinburgh-based milliner Sally-Ann Provan.

Having run for over 50 years, the ECA Fashion Show has become a major date in Edinburgh’s cultural calendar, and all four runs of the show – two on each date – are expected to sell out.

Rober Gillan, Associate Head of the School of Design at the ECA, said: “This year’s Fashion Show promises to be one of the best ever with a particularly strong final year group, whose work has resulted in an eclectic range of collections.

“The tailoring project in particular has been beautifully achieved, and we fully anticipate audiences to be impressed by the level of creativity, skill and the vision of our students.”

Other highlights are expected to include mini-collections by students from second and third year Fashion, as well as contributions from the Textiles and Performance Costume departments.

This year’s show has been sponsored by law firm Morton Fraser. Linda Urquhart, the firm’s Chief Executive, said: “Morton Fraser as a firm is always looking to support creative talent and innovation. This is the second year we’ve been associated with the Fashion Show, and we’re delighted to support such an exciting and high-profile event which showcases some of the best young talent in the country.”

Tickets for the show have gone on sale at £15 each, and are available from Tickets Scotland.
