The Graduate Fashion Foundation has announced Debenhams Group as the headline partner of Graduate Fashion Week 2025, a showcase of BA graduate fashion talent. Graduate Fashion Week 2025, presented by Debenhams.com, will run from Friday 13 June to Monday 16 June at The Truman Brewery, Shoreditch, London. 

Celebrating its 34th year, the event's schedule includes 15 runway shows in the Debenhams 500-seater catwalk hall and over 20+ live industry talks in the 150-capacity GFW Live! Talk space. 

The headline partnership will see Debenhams on-site with a commercial runway show on the opening night of GFW25. The show will feature the collections of 20 graduate designers who have been shortlisted by the Debenhams Group team as standout collections suitable for a commercial market.

Following the show, a winner will be selected to receive the “Catwalk to Collection” Award, with the chance to undertake a 12-month contract at Debenhams Group and the opportunity to create a full collection with the retailer, to be sold online.

Additionally, Debenhams will be present at the event with an industry stand, hosting CV and portfolio workshops whilst looking to recruit widely across the group and in-house labels.
