Sophie, aged 19 from Kempston, won £300 and is planning to go on to the new BA Hons Degree at Bedford College with a view to becoming a fashion buyer.
Elisa Bratton, Fashion and Textile Programme Leader said: “It is really exciting to see how the HND course here at Bedford College is providing students with the platform, opportunity and teaching expertise to compete on a national scale alongside the top BA institutions in fashion and textiles.”
Said Director of the Arts Toby Clark said: “The success of this course demonstrates how the riverside Bedford College South Bank Arts Centre is a hothouse for talent across the arts. Our students can stay here and gain degrees, win places at the best art schools and universities, or step into great jobs.”
