It might have been a long time ago or even a few months ago for some, but we all remember what it was like to be a student. And as a fashion student, the experience can be an extremely difficult one, purchasing swathes of your own expensive fabrics and sourcing tools in order to build your fashion portfolio. Luckily, Alexander McQueen have seen the stress of this situation and have launched their second round of fabric donations.

First introduced in February last year, the scheme supports those who are studying fashion at universities, college and community education projects throughout the UK. Using fabrics from leftover production cycles and unused samples, McQueen are offering out all types of materials, ranging from womenswear taffetas to menswear tailoring cloths.

Having already donated to over 20 fashion education institutions and community projects, the project aims to help the next generation of emerging talents and equip students with the tools and resources to build their futures.

Creative Director Sarah Burton spoke on the project, stating, “When times are so much more difficult for young creative people, taking action to share our resources and open eyes to opportunities has become a central in-house commitment at Alexander McQueen, which we all take very seriously.”
