Central Saint Martins:
The Trends on Campus

The fashion majors at Central Saint Martins show us how back-to-school fashion is done

As some of us head back to school, putting together chic, interesting outfits for every day of the week can be challenging — especially with the piling assignments and academic stress. To help you combat this, CHARLES & KEITH visited the campus of Central Saint Martins to scout out the cool fashion students and see what they are wearing. Below, you will find a compilation of style inspirations to help you navigate the term effortlessly.

Tilly Clark

Ujjal Patel

The Liv grommet hobo bag is a favourite among fashion students, including Ujjal Patel, and for good reason: it exudes a cool, edgy style without compromising practicality, making it the perfect accessory to elevate your back-to-school outfit.

Lily Cassidy

Embracing the preppy look with a chic, masculine twist, Lily Cassidy pairs an oversized blazer and necktie with the Lyla tubular slouchy tote bag and T-bar platform Mary Janes.

Maria Goundry

Maria Goundry’s eclectic, punk-meets-prep outfit is striking from a mile away. Layering a colourful top with a red houndstooth blazer, a matching tartan skirt and leopard-print leggings, her ensemble is a visual feast. She grounds the look with understated black accessories.

Rukkaiya

Wearing a ribbon-tie top with a pleated skirt and frilly socks with pearl-embellished Mary Jane sneakers, Rukkaiya embodies the coquette aesthetic. She strikes a balance by toughening up her look with the Liv grommet hobo bag, complemented by a matching headband.
