Welcome

From the entire FS team, welcome!

Over the past 20 years the St Andrews Charity Fashion Show has developed into a major force in student fashion and raised over £300,000 for worthwhile charities. In 2013 we intend to raise the bar even further.

Whether on the catwalk, in online magazines or as part the Alfa Romeo Young Designer Award, we aim to discover and showcase up-and-coming design talent from across the United Kingdom. In partnership with generous sponsors and through engagement with the press, we hope to support young designers in their efforts to break into the fashion industry.

Alongside this we will be supporting the University of St Andrews 600th anniversary fundraising campaign. At our student show in St Andrews and alumni event in London we intend to raise a significant amount of money and celebrate all that is great about our university in the 21st century.

We hope you will join us.

Director, FS 2013

About

Wardlaw Scholarship

FS 2013 is proud to give back to our own University during its 600th Anniversary. By celebrating its long and astounding heritage, we will be fundraising towards the Wardlaw Scholarship. The University of St Andrews has given us invaluable experiences and we hope to provide the same opportunity for other students in the future.

The St Andrews Wardlaw Scholarship scheme was established in 2004 to provide financial assistance for academically gifted students who would otherwise struggle with the cost of studying at the University of St Andrews. The Scholarships provide assistance with the cost of accommodation, and awards are based on financial need, although some are also specific to geography or subject. They allow the recipients the freedom to concentrate on achieving a world-class education, and to make the most of their St Andrews experience. To date, over £2.6m has been raised, 129 undergraduate students have received vital support and almost 80 Wardlaw Scholars have graduated from the University.

Music

Henry Stanislaw & Gero Kiepe

In the fall of 2010, after discovering their similar taste for music, Gero and Henry began a partnership that would form the greatly successful and infamous St Andrews minimood parties. Recently renamed the moodroom collective, the party series’ success has led the duo to play at the Masquerade Ball, Feel Good, the St Andrews May Ball 2011, the St Andrews Graduation Ball 2011, and invitations to play club nights as far reaching as the Phoenix Landing, Boston, MA, and Villanova, PA’s FIJI nights.
