Hot off the heels of her acclaimed graduate collection for The University of Westminster, young designer Ashley Williams was tapped to join Fashion East, Lulu Kennedy’s London-based incubator for emerging fashion talent, designing with the collective for two seasons before making her solo runway debut for Spring 2015.
