A Barnet teenager has been named as a finalist of a competition to win the chance to showcase her designs at London Fashion Week.

Ezoe Robinson, a student at Ashmole Academy in Southgate, is one of 26 teenagers to have been named a finalist of Fashion Awareness Direct’s Fashion Futures project.

She beat 120 hopefuls from 42 schools across Manchester and London to be named a finalist and will now undertake a summer school at The University of East London.

There she will have five days to create garments to be submitted for the competition’s final in September.

Fashion Awareness Direct aims to give young people an insight into the fashion industry as well as to improve their skills and confidence to help them succeed in the future.
