Check out what the current students have been doing for inspiration. Dv8 students designed and created a range of Retro themed T-shirts brand named, “Highly Retro”, and a collection of evening/street-wear dresses, which you can see below in our exclusive photoshoot. The young artists designed, made and styled their outfits on a 19 week Fashion & Styling course with Dv8 Training, which were modeled by singers Ny, Jazz (from Code Red), and some of London’s hottest upcoming models; Callie Clifford, De’andre Crystal Blake and Lisa Moynahan. Students also work together to organise the photoshoot and get the opportunity to produce a live fashion show. Sound up your street?
