Fancy seeing the work of the next Alexander McQueen? Then get down to September's Fashion in Motion at the V&A.

On 21st September, the pick of the bunch from Central St Martin's graduates of 2002 will be displaying their talents in an exclusive catwalk show. The two shows, taking place in the V&A;'s Raphael Gallery, will feature fifteen womenswear collections designed by the crème de la crème of one of the world's leading fashion schools.

This show promises to be an eye-catching blend of funky and bold, classical and stylish, from the happily chaotic designs of Ayten Gasson, with her "Alice in Wonderland" collection, to Leili Moished's dramatic reinterpretation of Muslim women's dress. Adrian Appiolaza, whose designs earned him this years coveted award for best womenswear presented by Matthew Williamson, will show his collection of beautiful gaucho inspired jersey dresses.

The designers include: Mitsuhiro Kokita (Japan), Kazu Hugler (Switzerland), Julia Kalache (UK), Masako Shiro (Japan), Akiko Kiura (Japan), Jean-Pierre Braganza (Canada), Lorrena de la Torre (Spain), Lesley Mobo (Indonesia), Jieun Lee (South Korea), Eyuki Iyamamoto (Japan), Claudine Aboua -Sawan (UK) and Lucy King (UK).
