This year they were celebrating local talent, and part of this was a catwalk which showcased pieces made by fashion students of the University of Sunderland. I was a dresser backstage and got to see some of these clothes first hand. They were amazing and I decided to show some of them to you, so that you too could see how amazingly talented these girls are.
The outfit on the far right was designed by Alex Filson. It is from her collection that she named Natural Transformation as she was inspired by nature that changes overtime. This can be seen clearly in the print used for the dress. Fashion North interview Alex at the Sun.FM Style Awards and that interview can be found here.
I was in charge of dressing the models who were wearing outfits by Leanne Johnson. Her style was very flowing and modern. The outfits are from her Chameleo collection. All her outfits feature pieces of material that attach with hidden magnets to give the impression that the outfit is being held up on its own, with no visible fastening. All her outfits can be changed and style in different ways by attaching different parts of the outfit to different magnets. Leanne spoke to Fashion North at the event, and their interview can be found here.

Katie Black designed the final catwalk item. It was from her collection called 'African Rose'. It was an amazing way to end the catwalk. Fashion North did a lovely interview with Katie Black before the Sun.FM Style Awards which can be found here.

I had a really amazing time backstage, getting to see all the outfits being put together and seeing what all the students hard work had created.
