AS the international fashion press prepared to descend on London for Fashion Week, East End fashionistas practised their dressmaking skills in a bid to become the next Vivienne Westwood.

Seamstress Eileen Wedderburn showed budding designers pattern cutting techniques and fabric draping in a workshop at Bethnal Green's Rich Mix on Saturday.

Students used both paper and fabric to hone their skills in the workshop which covered styles from all over the world.
