Central St. Martin’s Final Selections Announced: See The Designs That Were Left Behind
By Sabrina Morrison
LONDON–Whether it was from exhaustion or elation, a few tears were shed and a tantrum or two thrown inside talent incubator Central St. Martins this past Monday.
Why the brouhaha? The 40 graduates who’ll make it into the final press show next Tuesday–the one that’s covered by everyone from Fashionista to Style.com to Vogue UK–were chosen. And while about 80 students were left behind, most of the creations shown in Monday’s preliminary trial were anything but forgettable.
A jury of industry experts were invited to weigh in on the epic runway presentation, which included mini collections from all 125 graduates from womenswear, menswear, print, knit and fashion design & marketing. By St. Martins’ professors own admissions, some students–despite strong collections–didn’t make it into next Tuesday’s final show. The goal is to compose a cohesive, balanced and succinct final presentation.
Fashion BA course director Willie Walters says that the school’s priorities are never in doubt. “People come to us for creative idea generators, not someone who can design a great high street collection. They can get that from another college.”
Here, we bring you a sampling of students whose works you won’t see in the press show next week (which we’ll also be covering, so be sure to check back on June 2).

It sounds in the first paragraph as though 40 students are selected from 120 to represent the school in a show that happens next tuesday, then in the fourth paragraph the author is referring to 125 students in an epic show that has already been attended, with only a few students not making the cut. I could be wrong but these paragraphs seem really incongruous. Maybe worth a look?

There are two shows:
First: with all students, about 125.
Second: With 40 students, and that's the big show the press usually covers.
OH. That's awesome, thanks Lauren.
I know! How amazing is that!
is there somewhere you can view the names of the students that did make it?
Anyone knows if it's open for CSMartins students!? I'm one, but have no idea if I can watch it… Hunf :( Hope so!
I'm trying to find it for you! Will post soonest!
It's sad that often the show's cohesiveness is more important that displaying student talents..I'm graduating from the LCF Womenswear batch and it's the same story with us :(
