Graduate designs picked by Oasis - graduate jobs

Two university fashion graduates were among the three designers used by clothes chain Oasis to create its new collection.

The fashion store will profile the three designs from Clare Caudwell, Sarah Bird and Heather Reid in their spring and summer collections, using their fresh thinking to sell clothes online and on the high street.

Ms Bird, a graduate of New Buck University, designed a yellow draped-neck dress, while Nottingham alumni Ms Caudwell provided a white rose print shift skirt and maxi-dress.

"British fashion is all about supporting emerging design talent and this new collection seeks to do just that," said a representative from Oasis.

The trio are the latest graduates to begin to make an impact in the world of fashion. Erin O`Connor, one of the most famous faces in fashion, recently bought a leather jacket designed by Hayley Scanlan, a Dundee University graduate.
