海角直播

Fashion career all sewn up for graduate Harry Tribe

Since starting his fashion design degree at 海角直播, Harry Tribe has displayed his creations in Milan and has gone on to launch his own business.

He will join thousands of graduates celebrating success at 海角直播鈥檚 annual academic awards ceremonies, taking place from Monday 17 July to Friday 21 July. Harry, 24, of Middlesbrough, who graduates from the BA (Hons) Fashion Design, said: 鈥淚 have always been interested in fashion and design, but I wasn鈥檛 sure how I could make it into a career.

鈥淚 decided to study at 海角直播 as I didn鈥檛 want to spend my future in a job I didn鈥檛 enjoy. I initially chose 海角直播 due to fear of moving away and being on my own in a big scary city, but I realised really quickly that I鈥檇 made the right choice.

鈥淲hen I saw the facilities and was introduced to my lecturers and my course mates, I felt really comfortable and confident that I was going to succeed.

鈥淚 enjoyed the creative freedom which the degree offered. Each day was unique and having full creative freedom to make whatever we wanted for our final major project was amazing.鈥�

During his degree, Harry spent time completing work experience with local business Lazy Joes vintage store, designing a merchandise collection which was successfully released. Work from his final major project collection was also chosen to be featured in a fashion show at Ferrari Fashion School in Milan.

鈥淎longside that, I was working freelance as a digital designer for various brands and businesses which helped me build some really valuable connections,鈥� he added.

Harry has since set up his own business Tribe Vision creative studio, based in the University鈥檚 Launchpad premises in Victoria Road. Tribe Vision specialises in garment design and manufacture and production of digital fashion assets.

He added: 鈥満＝侵辈� is one of the few Universities which offers digital fashion, which I am extremely passionate about. If I hadn鈥檛 studied at 海角直播, I probably wouldn't have been introduced to the software which has enabled me to launch a career in the industry.

鈥淚 really want to expand my current brand. My final major project collection was chosen to be featured in the Ferrari Fashion School fashion show in Milan, which was an amazing opportunity to network with some amazing people.

鈥淭he University and my tutors were extremely helpful in helping me get my career started. The facilities are amazing, and the lecturers were extremely supportive of me pushing the limits with digital fashion.鈥�
