I have had an amazing time designing my collection and it feels great to have my skills and design ability recognised within such a personal project, said Anri, who is set to graduate from Loughborough later this month with a degree in Printed Textile Design.
Hopefully in the future I will be able to set up my own design business.

Students from both LUSAD and the Department of Design and Technology will exhibit their work in part two between 10 and 13 July.
