Welcome to Booker 2025... We hope you enjoy our first edition, which takes a look at 60 years of award-winning fashion in Kingston.

In recent years The Community Brain, a Kingston based not-for-profit, has used milestone anniversaries to focus attention on important local heritage and cultural stories. We were therefore excited to discover that 2025 would mark the 60th anniversary of Kingston School of Art students, under the tutorage of the remarkable Daphne Brooker. The magazine celebrates the extraordinary legacy of Daphne Brooker and her students' successes, during and after their time at Kingston. But it also features the testimony and portfolios of four recent graduates who have made waves at Graduate Fashion Week, while taking the conversation outside of the university and profiling some of Kingston's diverse communities and their own fashion projects.

Brooker also asks questions about the present and future direction for the fashion industry, whilst looking through the lenses of diversity, queerness, and sustainability.... What are the important drivers in current fashion? How is the industry responding to the major challenges facing the world? How is this reflected in the work of today's Kingston students? And, importantly, what will be the driving philosophy of fashion in twenty years' time?
