Fashion design with Patrick McDowell

Posted: 10th November 2026

Top women’s fashion designer, Patrick McDowell, inspired budding young Year 5 designers to create their very own outfits in a creative workshop exclusively for Knightsbridge pupils. Using a variety of flamboyant materials and fabrics, pupils worked in pairs in the art studio to design dresses, skirts, capes and accessories including fabulous hats and handbags!

Patrick is a trailblazer in women’s fashion showcasing creativity, circularity and craftsmanship and we are so appreciative of his generosity in taking the time to inspire future generations at Knightsbridge.

This exclusive opportunity follows the invitation to Year 3 pupils to sit in the front row at his recent runway show at London Fashion Week.

We are excited to see how these experiences help build their creative skills at Knightsbridge and beyond.
