CREATIVE Crewe student Sarah Chalkley has proved herself a cut above in the fashion stakes at Mid-Cheshire College.

Sarah was named ‘Young Designer of the Year’ for her creative talents at the Cheshire Fashion Festival in September.

The 21-year-old won a professional photo shoot with top models for her ‘Quiet Please’ range - inspired by the Suffragette movement and strong, elegant women of today.

Sarah, who completed a Foundation Degree in Fashion and is now working towards a specialised clothing degree, said: “I am very excited at winning this major prize, I’ve always loved making clothes and always held an interest in creating unusual collections.”
