2011 Winners

Shivani Chavda from De Montfort University won the third official Warehouse Design Competition. The competition also searched for new talent in photography as well as design; Emily Smeaton from Bristol University of the West of England was selected as the winner.

Design winner Shivani saw pieces from her graduate collection produced and sold exclusively in selected Warehouse stores nationwide. Photography winner Emily shot the campaign for the collection. Shivani and Emily followed the full journey of the collection development from the initial design process, through production, to campaign creation and marketing the collection launch.

The competition asks course tutors from many of the UK’s leading courses, who are members of the BFC’s Colleges Council to submit portfolios from this graduating year for consideration. A panel of industry judges chose the winning portfolios for exceptional design ability / creative vision and encapsulating the Warehouse brand.
