ising stars We present an inspirational showcase of fresh new talent from the One Year On exhibition at this summer’s New Designers show New Designers is an essential hunting ground for those on the search for fresh design talent. Every July, it helps thousands of graduates to launch their careers by presenting their degree work at the stylish Business Design Centre in London, the world’s capital of design. Now in its 26 th year the event provides an invaluable shop window bringing together infl uential business people with newly graduated designers from across all major creative disciplines. A two-part event, the fi rst part features contemporary applied arts, ceramics and glass, textiles, fashion and accessories, jewellery and precious metalwork. Part two focuses on product design, furniture, visual communications including graphic design and illustration. Over the whole two weeks there will be wide-range of design-led talks from contributors including Habitat, V&A, Design Museum, Sky Creative, Cockpit Arts, Fashion and Textile Museum. For the 12 th year running, New Designers Tom McDowell Design +44 (0)7973 770 691 www.tommcdowelldesign.com Tom McDowell uses anodised aluminium, silver and a variety of different media to transform children’s drawings of animals into quirky wearable jewellery pieces.
