All students have been invited to the Bradford Textile Design Society design seminar and awards ceremony at the National Media Museum in Bradford on 9 May, where their work is on display.

Jan Shenton, Programme Leader in Loughborough Universitys Woven Textile Design Programme, expressed her delight at the awards. She said: I am thrilled with the results, all of the students have done fantastically well. Entering work for a national competition such as the Bradford awards gives them a fantastic opportunity to conceptualise their work and be judged by distinguished design professionals.

Designs produced by staff and students are sold worldwide to household names in the fashion and interior design industry, including Louis Vuitton, Prada, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Christian Lacroix, Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.
