The annual V&A Awards recognise the best illustrated book, book cover, editorial illustration and student illustrator of the year.
Second year Kingston School of Art Illustration Animation BA (Hons) student Vivien Chan gained backstage access at the London Fashion Show, and created 70 drawings of the action.
She submitted three to the V&A Awards, and won a runner up prize with her submission.
Eight second-year Fashion BA(Hons) students worked with fashion sustainability champion Dr Noki and London-based Canadian designer Todd Lynn to create a series of sculptures.
The pieces were installed in the Canadian High Commission in Central London at the launch of London Fashion Week.
They demonstrated the potential for sustainable design practices by using recycled and second-hand items – mirroring the ecological approach of Canada's indigenous communities.
The impressive use of up-cycling and sustainable materials demonstrate the true power of imagination.
