A Rickmansworth fashion designer has capped a fantastic year by graduating from the University of Westminster's BA Honours Fashion Design course with first class honours.
The designs of Julia Ison-Stierer 24, were the standout collection at the University's Graduate Fashion Week show, which saw her featured in the Evening Standard, The Times and Vogue.
Her sportswear-inspired collection was awarded the Westminster Collection of the Year prize.
Sally Feldman, dean of the School of Media, Arts and Design, said: "Julia's work is a wonderful expression of the very finest values of fashion at Westminster: edgy, original, witty and with meticulous attention to detail and cut as well as to style and concept."
Julia's work was spotted by sportswear company Adidas, and she is currently working as a designer at the company's headquarters in Nuremberg, Germany.
Julia said: "I'm delighted to graduate with a first, and I'd like to say thanks to my tutors and to my husband James, whose help and support through my degree got me where I am today."
