BBC Your Label 2010 LFW Competition.
 In June 2010 I entered a BBC Fashion Competition. The brief was to design a collection of six outfits inspired by Ceramics. Over 1,000 applied and I got into the Final 10 of the competition winning me a place to showcase my designs at London Fashion Week in September 2010. I had about 8 weeks to make all my 6 outfits for the show which was held at Freemasons Hall on Sunday 25th September 2010. This was an amazing opportunity and experience for me, I loved every minute of the process from designing to making the outfits to being backstage at the fashion show. The image below is my 6 outfits I designed and made myself. :)
