After frenzied all-night deliberations, the LCF judging panel agreed that Melissa Cumberland should win the Oxford Street High Street Fashion Week Photography Competition. Her three photographs successfully responded to the brief: they summed up Oxford Street shopping, had a distinctive fashion flavour, and shot the familiar sights in a fresh style.

Competition entry by Vanessa Wong.

Back in the beginning of June we set up a competition to win 2 exclusive tickets to the BA Catwalk Show 2009.

Entrants had to let us know why they wanted to study at LCF, they could use words and/or images and we wanted something quirky, imaginative and fun.

Katie Haines from Reading was the first winner who wowed us by making a dress for her summer ball!

I have my heart set on going into the fashion industry….I would love the opportunity to make my opinion known, and see what others think of my ideas, its a chance to show individuality and sides of you that otherwise might not be known.

At the end of our school year we have a summer ball, and I saw this as the perfect chance to make something one-off of my own to wear. By doing this I can have a design that no one else has, and learn new skills in the process- excellent!

Our second winner, Vanessa Wong from Fakenham, Norfolk (entry pictured above), showed an understanding that the fashion industry is not just about designing clothes.
