A YOUNG Bolton designer has dressed the cast of teenage TV drama Skins for a magazine photoshoot.
Vanessa Edwards beat thousands of hopefuls to win an E4 competition for the fashion photoshoot in More magazine.
The 19-year-old, of Cranbourne Close, Lostock, is studying fashion design with marketing, manufacture and promotion at Huddersfield University.
She said: "I saw the advert for the competition and because I was studying fashion I thought I would be able to do it, but I was absolutely amazed I had won because I didn't think I would in a million years."
Miss Edwards based her designs around the Skins character of Cassie and used a "vintage" theme.
She was due to attend the launch party of Skins in January, but gale-force winds made the journey to London impossible. The undergraduate did make it to the photoshoot where she met the cast of Skins and saw her ideas take shape.
Miss Edwards said: "It was amazing to see how they had used my sketch book for their inspiration."
As well as being able to style the photoshoot, Miss Edwards won a work placement with Channel 4 and £500 worth of Top Shop vouchers.
She said: "I would love to work on a fashion magazine and this has been an amazing opportunity."
Skins is a teen drama about the trials and tribulations of a group of youths.
