Runway: La Cambre Mode Show 2008
Read More:la cambre mode
La Cambre École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Visuels in Brussels has a formidable fashion course that is still a relatively stable secret when compared with its more famous country counterpart at the Antwerp Royal Academy. However, this school’s alumni includes the likes of Olivier Theyskens and Cathy Pill and its graduates have gone onto hold first assistant and studio director positions Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Lanvin and Chanel to name but a few. It has also been scooping up prize after prize at competitions like the Hyeres Festival of Fashion and Photography.
Therefore, at the student show of La Cambre Mode 2008, at Brussels last weekend, there was definitely a feeling that the students were being scouted for future internships and job opportunities and that people were taking note of specific names to remember. The jury, assembled to judge the fourth and final year collections, was also a formidable one. Jean Paul Gaultier (above) presided the jury and that in itself attracted a great deal of press attention, and the likes of Isabelle Aout, studio director of Maison Martin Margiela and Lucas Ossendrijver, head designer of Lanvin Homme were also present as jury members.
