Emma, who studied at Lutterworth College and Leicester College before starting the degree at DMU, said: “I'm so excited to have won. To get this recognition from such a successful global lingerie brand is absolutely incredible and I'm honoured to be representing the UK in the global final.
“Winning this award means my garment will be put under the global spotlight so it gives me a rare chance for my design to be seen by many people within the industry. It's also a fantastic achievement to put on my CV.
“I love both lingerie and fashion design and my ambition when I graduate is to become a designer within one or both of these fields. My dream, when I have enough experience, is to create my own label.”
