“I really enjoyed my time at Winchester School of Art, especially putting together my collection in the third year. I came second in the international competition, 4CF, judged by Peter Jensen, Sophia Malig and Robert Cary Williams, and I won the Mulberry Accessories Award at graduate fashion week which resulted in a placement with the company.� Verity Pemberton Graduate, 2009
