The University of East London opened Graduate Fashion Week with an impressive showing from international designers.

Two graduates from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) in Singapore showcased their collections on the University's catwalk.

Elizabeth Soon Liqian and Charlene Hoon Pinyi both had collections in the opening show of Graduate Fashion Week 2012.

Each presented five outfits from their collections.

This is the first year NAFA has partnered with the University of East London to provide a BA (Hons) Fashion degree course for its students. 

“It is an exceptional opportunity for NAFA to showcase creative ideas and talents from Singapore to the international fashion industry and we are honoured to present them on the same platform as the UK’s fashion students," says William TEO, head of fashion studies at NAFA.
