Natural beauty brand Weleda teamed up with graduate fashion students at University of Northampton to celebrate the 90th anniversary of its original and best-selling skincare product, Skin Food. Students created designs inspired by the backstage beauty hero and showcased them at a London Fashion Week on September 17. Nine design pieces were shortlisted and judged by a high-profile judging panel, including Fashion Commentator Caryn Franklin. Northampton student Cornelia Parker was announced as the winner and took home a £1,000 bursary as well as a year’s supply of Weleda skincare. The winning design combined sustainable and natural fabrics and was described by judges as “relaxed, natural and experimental”. Other highly commended designers included Tiffany Ruff, whose shoe design caught judges’ attention with an eye-catching print including calendula and chamomile, as well as Adele Jolly who created boots made from a sustainable and distinctive bacteria material.
