<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">In the middle of the worst recession since the war, retail guru Mary Portas (honorary graduate of the school) believes a a window of opportunity has opened to restore some life back to </span><span style="line-height: 1.22em;">British manufacturing.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Transport costs and foreign labour costs are rising, so Mary's heading to Middleton, Greater Manchester, to set up a new production line for British-made knickers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Mary wants consumers to understand the value of buying British: skills, UK jobs, pride in our manufacturing heritage.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It will be a challenge for Mary, who normally frequents an altogether different shop-floor. She not only needs to breathe life back into a mothballed factory, she has to persuade the old seamstresses to teach the new recruits, and track down some of the last fabric suppliers in the country.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; line-height: 1.22em; margin-bottom: 1em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Will she pull it off, or will her first ever foray into manufacturing be simply a brief encounter?</span></div>

At the end of her MA Degree she has been awarded as 'The Best Design Project' working with wool, from the Worshipful Company, with Woolmen's Award.<br /><br />Russian – born, UK based designer, Larisa has found inspiration and direction in her own national identity, where her main point of influence came from her childhood memories and love of nature.<br /><br />She is fascinated by natural textures, shapes and colours. She translates this into forms in such a way that they have a unique contemporary style.<br />Through her art she can bring people closer to nature by using different textures, textiles and forms, be it through digital, fashion garment or medium art.<br /><br />Emerging designer GUZOVAART will be showcasing at <a href="http://www.fashionsfinest.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=31&Itemid=137" style="color: #b7a567; text-decoration: none;" target="_parent">Fashions Finest</a> London Fashion week show 18 - 19 Westbury Hotel Conduit Street, Mayfair, London. </div>
