TOPSHOP & TOPMAN GET FRESH!

In an almost unprecedented move, Topshop and Topman are the presenting sponsors for FRESH! - The Graduate Showcase. This is the first time British fashion store retailer is sponsoring a talent spotting event in Asia, and only the second time outside of the United Kingdom, after Sweden in 2006.

Four design schools - LASALLE College of the Arts, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Raffles Design Institute and Temasek Polytechnic - will come together in a collective effort to present their top graduates and the best of their student fashion work. Culled from their graduating students and presented in three main categories of womenswear, menswear and mixed collections respectively, the four schools will submit five entries for each category. There will be an international panel of judges and prizes will be awarded for the best collection in each category.

In addition, there is the Topshop/ Topman Award that will go to the best overall collection for an internship programme in London design team of the retail giant. At the same time, the winner will also have his or her winning collection displayed in a Topshop or Topman Singapore store for two weeks.
