“I won a national fashion award and an internship with ASOS.”
Hattie won the ASOS Future Talent Award in Design after her work was showcased at the Graduate Fashion Week 2017 in London. She received £3,000 and was offered a year-long internship with ASOS.
‘It was amazing to the win the ASOS award. I was happy enough just being shortlisted as one of the top five but to actually receive the award is great. I've already been offered a year-long internship with ASOS.
‘There are a lot of inspirations behind my collection, mainly around youth culture and society. The camo piece is around the theme of child rebels, and the bunny ears are inspired by the film Gummo.
'Be yourself, that's what anyone on my course would tell you. The tutors will always drive for you to be your best, but do something that means something to you, I wouldn't pick anything that's not relevant to yourself because your heart won't be in it.'
‘The award and my degree have opened up loads of opportunities, and I'm really happy to have won.’
