I think in the end you definitely have to get by on your own merits, but it helps having a leg up so to speak. Stella McCartney would probably be the best example.
I just find it strange how the commission was given to a undergraduate architect who wasn't even the most distinguished student in her year. Especially when you consider the wealth of young and emerging architectural and artistic talent that London has to offer.
