D’andra is modelling the work of RCA postgraduate student Nabil El Nayal. Nabil is already the recipient of the British Fashion Council’s MA Scholarship Award and was very impressive with his BA graduate collection from back in 2008, which earned him the River Island Graduate Fashion Week Women’s wear Award. Whilst at the RCA, Nabil has also recieved an RCA Fellows Award and looks set for big things in the future.

Nabil is one to watch, having already been showered with kisses by Claudia Schiffer at 2008 Graduate fashion week, while receiving his award for best womens wear. Directly after being handed Graduate Fashion Week’s womenswear designer award for his striking, high-ruffed monochrome pieces in organdie and hand-pleated silk chiffon, Nabil won a scholarship to the Royal College of Arts. It doesn’t stop there for Nabil, he took first prize in this years RCA sportswear project in partnership with Umbro and he also shone in a competition sponsored by Swarovski, where his crystal-studded gowns wowed the crowds and managed to grab second place. Nabil is wearing a plain white pintock shirt which he made himself.
