my-wardrobe.com is thrilled to announce the three finalists competing in the final stage of The Designer
Incubator (www.thedesignerincubator.com) competition. In its opening year, The Designer Incubator seeks to
find the freshest new talent in British fashion.
After a critical shortlist of 20 was presented to the judging panel on November 21st, the three finalists were chosen. Entrants from across the UK were of exceptionally high quality and the judges were impressed by the design flair and professionalism shown in many of their portfolios.
The three finalists are Kevin Geddes, a 30 year old undergraduate from Coventry University; Gillian Suzanne Lawtie studying in her final year at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and Felicia Theodorou, 21 years of age and currently at University College for Creative Arts, Rochester.

All three presented incredibly diverse collections which would each offer the my-wardrobe customer
something different.
A professionally produced catwalk event in January 2008 will see the overall winner announced after all 3 designers have had the opportunity to display their capsule collections in front of the very best from the world of fashion and consumer media.
The winning designer will then see their collection manufactured and retailed exclusively as part of my-wardrobe's high summer 08 portfolio.
The judging panel includes Hilary Alexander (Telegraph) Sara Hassan (Sunday Times Style) Gharani Strok (design duo) Louise Redknapp (Clothes Show) Lauretta Roberts (Drapers) Sarah Curran (my-wardrobe) Luisa De Paula (Buying Director, my-wardrobe.com)
A special mention must go to: Yulia Sharygina Conti, Pamela Atekpe and Laura Smith as the judges unanimously felt they deserved special recognition for their collections.
