Sian-Kate Mooney trained as a Fashion Designer, and is the founder and designer of Grab&Mac fashion label. Sian has shown her collections at London Fashion Week, Trannoi in Paris and ‘British Hotwave’ in Tokyo in 1998 and 1999. Her client base in Tokyo was extensive including Isetan, Barney’s and Agosto.

Her current creative practice extends beyond the body, exploring the boundaries of the silhouette in the creation of sculptural forms that are no longer restrained by the conventions of traditional notions of fashion.









This is the seventh year that NADFAS have sponsored the event. 
Thank you for your continuing support.

Careers Week 
Second Year Textiles and Surface Design

Second Year Textiles and Surface Design students attended a special week of lectures and events organised by our course business and enterprise specialist Karina Thomas. 

Work experience planning is an important part of the second year and we are looking forward to students working with companies in London and further afield.

Second year students began to plan their three design CV's, consider website and blog design, Pintrest accounts, ready for work experience and graduate employment.

Information about planning a design career will be posted onto our course careers site in the next month at textiles-surface-careers.blogspot.co.uk

Thank you to all our guest speakers on Monday and Thursday.
