City of Bath College Award 2011

This year’s City of Bath College DIA/Gane Fashion Award was won by Jo Cashmore.

In partnership with the Gane Trust and the City of Bath College, the DIA Western Region awarded a prize for a seventh year at the College’s Fashion Show for the best collection of work submitted by a final year student on completion of the National Diploma Fashion Clothing Course. The initiative is seen as an excellent way to see the work of the Catwalk students and to celebrate the results of final year designers as they prepare for future challenges.

Jo says: “I have really enjoyed all aspects of the course however I found that I have excelled in pattern cutting and garment construction. In September I hope to improve my skills in this area and I am going to study at Rochester University on the Fashion Atelier course. In the future I would like to get a job as a pattern cutter or garment technologist.”
