"The first graduate fashion/costume show here at ARU was a great success - the students worked incredibly hard with some outstanding outputs. The graduates are going from strength to strength and two of our students (Kayleigh and Joy) are already gaining recognition by the industry. I really look forward to seeing how Joy continues to push the boundaries with her innovative use of latex; and Kayleigh with her high end fashion collections."

"My collection Lace on Leather feeds on from my previous collection designed. Its very personal as it was influenced by my great grandmother's personality and life. The inspiration stems from a collision of innocent vintage and rebellious rock styles. My signature style is my use of personal hand made fabrics. I use a form of layering and soldering to create beautiful interesting original fabrics. I think that the course at Anglia Ruskin has definitely helped me in form my own personal style. Students here can grow into the designer they want to be rather than sticking to the structure that other universities sometimes set."
