TESTIMONIALS
I have had the pleasure of knowing Christopher Fink since 2008, during his tenure as Creative Director at Madura Garments in India. Our collaboration continued in 2019 when I curated and presented the ’Khadi: The Fabric of Freedom’ exhibition and fashion show in Qatar, commemorating Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary. Christopher’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and his innovative approach to fashion have consistently set him apart in the industry.

Collaborating with Christopher Fink and his students on the Liberty Fabrics x VCUarts Qatar project was a truly inspiring experience. Their creative approach to integrating Liberty Fabrics into contemporary abaya designs showcased both innovation and cultural respect. Christopher’s leadership and vision made this partnership a great success, and it was a pleasure to be part of it.

Creative Director, Liberty London
We have been touched by the commitment and craft of VCUQ students, for their contemporary human vision of a more sustainable fashion. Such urgent purpose was so well carried out by their focus on the abaya garment as epitome of tradition and present beauty, humility, and outspoken elegant strength. The passion they manage to instigate within our Liberty artistic design studio in London and the international public has been phenomenal!
