Fashion designer to inspire the next generation at free event

Date: Wednesday 21 March 2012
Time: 5pm
Location: UCA Epsom

World famous fashion designer Ozwald Boateng OBE is visiting the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) at Epsom for a special free screening of new film 'A Man's Story' on 21 March 2012.

The evening will include a free screening of Ozwald's film about his life 'A Man's Story' followed by a question and answer session with the designer.

Over the past two decades Ozwald has redefined men's bespoke tailoring and with his flagship Savile Row store is at the forefront of men's fashion. His trademark suits have been worn by the likes of President Barack Obama, Mick Jagger, Samuel L Jackson and P Diddy.

In 2011 the University for the Creative Arts bestowed an Honorary Master of Arts Degree on Ozwald Boateng in recognition of his work in fashion.

'A Man's Story' charts 12 years from 1998, through Ozwald's personal as well as professional life, charting his meteoric rise, as Creative Director for Menswear at Givency, opening his own Savile Row store as well as receiving an OBE.

UCA events officer Katie McGill said: "We are very excited about Ozwald's visit to UCA Epsom. This event is a unique opportunity to meet one of Britain's top designers in person and be inspired by his phenomenal career."
