A huge congratulations to our incredible Fashion students Emily Louise Coe and Birute Kuncaityte, recipients of this year’s top award “Fashion Design Student of the Year” and “Fashion Communication Student of the Year” at the Teesside University Fashion Awards. 👏✨
Through our partnership with Barbour, we’re proud to be creating meaningful opportunities that connect emerging Northern talent with one of the North’s most iconic fashion brands.
Emily will be joining the Barbour styling and studio team for an internship, while BirutÄ— will be working alongside the Womenswear Design team, gaining invaluable industry experience and developing their creative practice within a globally recognised heritage brand.
At Teesside University, we’re passionate about building strong industry partnerships that help our students take the next step in their careers. Seeing our graduates progress into leading creative businesses, right here in the North, is exactly what these collaborations are all about.
Congratulations, Emily and Birutė. We can’t wait to see where this opportunity takes you. 🖤
