"Another collection of note was that of Birmingham’s Rachel Cogley who looks on course to be a welcome addition to the House of Holland/Giles/Jeremy Scott crew of cheeky high-jinx. She showed a humorous shaggy Afghan hound dog bag."

Fashion For Lunch

"Rachel Cogley of Birmingham City designed some innovative jackets too. The last look is particularly memorable – it tends to spark that question of the extent to which most runway looks are genuinely wearable but hey, the abundance of hair just looks so awesome!"

NXG Magazine

"Other more flamboyant graduates from the gala included Birmingham City graduate Rachel Cogley, whose collection was, hair-raising to say the least. Rachel's collection focused on fur, feathers and masses of acrylic hair. She managed to create a surreal experience for the spectators as her models sauntered down the catwalk to Cat Stevens' I Love My Dog. It's a good thing Lydia left Mr Darcy at home, otherwise he may have been stuffed, stitched and made into a handbag before you could say “Shut-up!”
