One course. Seven graduate collections. Twenty one looks.

From EXPOSE at Gray’s in May to the runway at V&A Dundee in September. Seven of our 2026 Fashion and Textile Design graduates represented Gray’s at the inaugural Scotland Fashion Now, each presented three looks from their graduate collection:

Hazel Gilroy In Communication

Angus Lallah Principles

HollyMia Cockayne Loose Swing

Eve Sinclair-McNally coupé funk

Ethan Brown Carried

Eilidh Fernando-Campbell The Marks of the Land

Catriona McLean Suited

Together, their collections spanned ready-to-wear, menswear, knitwear, gender-neutral and concept-led design, reflecting the range of approaches developed within Fashion and Textile Design at Gray’s.

Show day is also influenced by everything happening around the runway. Course Leader Colin Bell and Joanna O’Brien, Technical Services Officer, were in Dundee alongside the graduates, supporting fittings, final checks and the many details behind each presentation.

Gray’s joined Edinburgh College of Art, Glasgow School of Art and The Design School at Heriot Watt for a showcase bringing together 83 looks by 26 emerging designers.

A major moment for seven distinct graduate practices, and another chapter for collections first shared here in Aberdeen.
