A YOUNG designer from Malvern has been making her mark in the fashion world.

Fashion student Zo Frost, of Clare Road, was selected to show her collection at the Independent London Fashion Show.

She has just finished her degree in fashion design at the Kent Institute of Art and Design, in Rochester.

As one of the top students in her year, she was chosen to take part in the show, held in Brick Lane, east London.

She showed a total of eight dresses in the show, which she felt went extremely well.

"It's been hard work, but very enjoyable," she said. "There were one or two compliments at the after-show party."

She said that she has wanted to be a fashion designer as long as she can remember and her current influences were Alexander McQueen and Roland Mouret.

Zo graduates on July 4, just 15 days before her 21st birthday - but there will be precious little time for celebrating.

"I'll start looking for a job straight away," she said. "It's a very competitive world."

Mum Jayne Frost said: "We're all very proud of Zo".
