Young Leeds designer makes final of fashion contest

A fashion student from Leeds has kickstarted her career after qualifying for the final of a regional young designer contest.

Emma Cowie, 21, reached the final of North West Young Designer of the Year 2010 with her collection, based on a Second World War theme.

The final show will be at Manchester's Triangle Shopping Centre on Tuesday, judged by a panel of experts from the fashion industry including a celebrity judge.

The winner will get an all expenses paid photoshoot of their collection featured in a glossy magazine.

Emma, a third year student at Liverpool John Moores University, said: "To win this competition will certainly help to establish my name in the world of fashion.

"The designer industry is very difficult to break in to, but I'm hopeful my collection will make the grade and win me the title.

"I'm very excited just to make the final, but winning it would be a dream come true. Hopefully everyone will get behind me and support me on the day – I'm hoping to bring lots of Leeds support."
