A graduate of Central Saint Martins's revered Fashion BA degree, menswear designer Grace Wales Bonner wowed journalists and buyers alike with her graduate collection, which took inspiration from her Jamaican heritage.

Since her graduation this young designer was been picked by Lulu Kennedy to join the Fashion East line up - following in the footsteps of fellow Fashion East alums Craig Green, Astrid Andersen and Christopher Shannon - and showcased her designs at the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of its Fashion In Motion series. Wales Bonner also cut her teeth at Meadham Kirchoff in London and Camilla Nickerson in New York before launching her own label, available to purchase at Opening Ceremony, VFiles, Machine A and GR8 from next season.
