The prestigious event was held at the Saatchi Gallery in the affluent area of Chelsea in London.

Curriculum Quality Leader of Photography Robert Tabor explained:

"We went to London Fashion Week as guests of Canon Professional Cameras. This gives the students unique access to this amazing event. The students work as professional photographers for the day.

The pressure is high with everything is so fast and furious! I’m really proud of our students from West College Scotland. They performed brilliantly in this the most professional of photographic environments and produced fantastic results.

Applications are now open for Photo and Video Courses at the Paisley Campus. Who knows? Maybe next year it could be you in that press pit at London Fashion Week!"

Students were thrilled to put into practice their photography skills at one of the world's most prestigious fashion event. They said:
