Fashion designer inspires next generation

A former Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) student turned fashion designer returned to the college to inspire the next generation of textiles students.

Textiles lecturer Sharon Porteous, invited former NULC Sixth Form student Daisy Thomas back to the college to talk to current AS and A2 Textiles students.

During the day, Daisy worked closely with current students, showcasing products from her spring/summer collection and sharing her experience of studying at NULC.

Daisy, aged 24 originally from Keele, joined NULC in 2004 where she studied A Levels in Art and Design, Graphic Design and English Language and Literature, achieving ABB in her A Level results before progressing on to study the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at the college.  Having completed her Further Education, Daisy left NULC in 2007 and went on to study a BA in Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University.


Sharon said: “Daisy is a great success story; she has a fantastic talent which we nurtured whilst she was at NULC, to ensure that she went on to be the successful designer she is.  It was lovely to invite Daisy back to the new college and our current students were really inspired to see what great careers former NULC students have gone on to.”
