Richard Taylor

In summer 2005 department of Design graduate Richard Taylor, attended New Designers at the Business Design Centre in London as part of the graduating year. He was selected by the show judges to receive the DKNY award of £1000; this was presented at the award evening during the show. During the summer his work was exhibited in the DKNY flagship store in Bond St. London for several months as part of their collection launch. Subsequently he was asked to submit work to DKNY as an application for an internship in their New York studio; he was successful and took up the 3 month placement in January 2006. In Sept 2005 he made a successful application for a post as a part time development officer for the Creative Industries in Preston and he will shortly be returning to this post after his time in America.
