After Uni with Amy Nicholson (Part 2)
Alumni 22nd June 2016
Hi all. It’s now a whole year since I finished my degree in Fashion and Textile Retailing with the School of Materials and I have fond memories of the final stages of the course. The deadlines, the all-nighters, the excitement of the DFB Degree Show, and, eventually, the relief of the Materials Ball and knowing I had […]

Triple Down at the Big Green Gathering

#MondayMaterials Episode 19 – Aidan Rooney
#MondayMaterials 14th March 2016

We originally scheduled an interview […]
