Manx fashion designer scoops awards for graduate collection

Awards lunch was held at the U.S. Embassy in London

A Manx fashion designer has won two awards at the Only Natural design awards for her graduate collection.

Molly Wade scooped the Apparel Award and the Overall Fashion Winner gongs on the night.

'Skin Story' or ‘Shenn vyrneen aym' (an old love of mine) 'highlights the untapped potential of British agriculture by transforming cattle hides from regenerative farming into treasured fashion pieces'.

The competition attracted over 400 entrants with sustainable designs from around the world from India to the UK.

Natural materials used ranged from leather, suede and bamboo to the innovative use of algae.

Earlier this year Molly also represented the island with her pieces at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient as part of the Manx delegation who travelled over to Lorient for the annual festival.
