Celebrating Creativity... with New Designers 2026

Celebrating Creativity... 🌟

This week we’re celebrating New Designers 2026, the UK's largest showcase of emerging design talent.

Returning to London 1st - 4th July, the event brings together more than 2,500 graduates from across the country, giving them the opportunity to exhibit their work to industry professionals and the public.

Fashion, textiles, furniture, illustration, product design and digital experiences all feature, offering a glimpse into the ideas and projects coming out of the UK's universities right now.

For more than 40 years, New Designers has helped launch creative careers, connecting graduates with employers, collaborators and opportunities at a pivotal moment in their journey.

It's where future studio founders, creative leaders and award-winning designers often exhibit their work for the very first time.

About Handle Recruitment

We opened the doors in 1978 and built our reputation in the music industry. We quickly realised that a great brand is not always a household name. A great brand is something people connect with, not just a place they work. Somewhere that helps them become better at what they do. It could be a record label, it could be in media, it could be a tech start-up.
