Central Saint Martins has long been the incubator of some of the most daring, boundary-pushing talent in fashion — a place where tradition meets radical creativity and where voices from around the world converge to redefine style. This year’s graduating designers continue that legacy, each weaving their unique stories and cultural identities into collections that challenge norms, spark conversation, and remind us why CSM remains the heartbeat of fashion innovation.
Phoebe Bor
Phoebe Bor’s untitled collection is a tactile meditation on the South African bush where she grew up, folding feathers, grass, and eucalyptus into wearable tributes to the quiet intelligence of the natural world. Her pieces don’t just evoke nests and furs – they’re constructed through a kind of ecological choreography, where hand-bound mohair and resin-coated leaves become tools of both storytelling and survival.

Seoyoun Shin
Seoyoun Shin’s collection, “I (still) want to be with you,” transforms memory into graphics, assembling intimate objects from her personal life into wearable visual metaphors. From a pleated skirt shaped like stacked magazines to garments that look like furniture sketches come alive, she turns nostalgia into geometry with quietly arresting results.

Dieter Vlasich
Dieter Vlasich’s deeply personal collection is a decolonial dialogue, created in collaboration with Mayan women artisans in Mexico and grown—literally—from seed. With natural dyes, geometric silhouettes, and slow storytelling techniques, his work challenges Western timelines and invites a more ancestral, relational way of dressing.

Hannah Dixey
Hannah Dixey’s “ALL I WANT IS A MORTGAGE” is as much about yearning for stability as it is about childhood make-believe, turning her rented flat and vintage trinkets into a stage for oversized doll clothes with emotional heft. Think laser-cut pony buttons, felted nostalgia, and prints lifted straight from the lived-in chaos of adulthood.

Hannah Smith
Hannah Smith’s “The Gentle Frame” is a romantic, radical reframing of disability in fashion – a tribute to the elegance of difference and the poetics of the body. Wrought-iron gates become sheer embroidery, medical aids are reimagined as couture accessories, and vulnerability is rendered in fringe-cut leather and organza.
@hannahsmi.h
Haseeb Hassan
Haseeb Hassan’s “Fragmented Threads” is a cultural remix rooted in diasporic tension, where Madame Grès meets the streets of Lahore and London in a masterful negotiation of belonging. His patchworked cottons, laser-engraved leathers, and sharp tailoring reframe tradition with both reverence and rebellion.
