Hundreds of amazingly fresh talents submitted their entries for the Best Student Designer gong at this year’s Bridal Buyer Awards with the judges given the tough task of whittling them down to 13.
Judges Bridal Buyer editor-at-large Susi Rogol and Amanda Bradwell of Eternity were overwhelmed by the seriously high standard of entries this year with some brilliantly-conceived and highly original work entered into the award. In fact, the judges said it was difficult to pick the best because all entrants were worthy of a mention.
Four colleges were particularly outstanding, with the 13 finalists coming from Hull School of Art and Design, Sheffield Hallam University, Harrogate College and Birmingham City University.
Congratulations to all. We are pretty sure that among this group bridal designers of the future will emerge.
