Final year BA Fashion, History and Theory student Victoria Thompson writes:
In the summer of 2009 I received the Costume Society Museum Placement Award, to catalogue and archive a collection at the Central Saint Martin’s Museum.

Norah Waugh was former tutor at Central College of Art and Design, who worked on the BA Theatre Design course. With the assistance of Margaret Woodward, they wrote three books on historical design, Corsets and Crinolines (1954), The Cut of Men’s Clothes 1600-1900 (1964), and The Cut of Women’s Clothes 1600-1930 (1968).

Central Saint Martins MA Creative Practice for Narrative Environment students have been commissioned by Holocaust Memorial Trust, to create an installation for this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day.
The 27th January is the day in 1945 when Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated 65 years ago, a significant anniversary. This year’s theme is The Legacy of Hope and the installation will play a central role in the national event at Guildhall tomorrow.
The installation, to stand in the courtyard of the Guildhall, will consist of 20 wax life size structures containing candles to be lit by survivors of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides who will be accompanied by young people from across the Capital.
