Take one well known High Street clothing brand, add some very new talent, mix it all up with a sprinkling of Autumn/Winter 08 and what have you got?

I’ll tell you.

You have one very interesting and exciting new collection.Let me explain.

Oasis, our well known High Street brand, is collaborating with The Royal College or Art, our very new talent, to design their Autumn/Winter 08 collection.

The collaboration began as a competition set by Oasis to help support and reveal the talents of The Royal College of Art’s first year MA Fashion and Textile students.

The competition – to deign a modern and feminine collection.

Seems simple enough. But the pressure, intense.

Because the prize – your designs sold nationwide for Oasis’s A/W 08 Collection.

The result saw the fascinating work of seven entries that fused and manipulated disciplines to create an outstanding collection of individual pieces that focused on print and colour.

The winning collection – The Raven collection designed by Liam Evans, Clare McLachlan and Alison Dunlop which will open the RCA’s internationally renowned Gala catwalk show.

What a way to start one’s first year at Fashion school.

The collection goes on sale nationwide at Oasis flagship stores and online at www.oasis-stores.co.uk from November 2008.

Oasis may be on to something huge here. So, save up your pennies, you’re going to need them this November.
