A student from The Surrey Institute of Art & Design has picked up a hotly-contested journalism award at this year's Graduate Fashion Week.

BA (Hons) Fashion Promotion & Illustration student Anna Woolcott was chosen as the overall winner of 'The First Word'Journalism Award for her magazine, Shade.

As well as writing content that included a cover story on mixed-race relationships, Anna styled, photographed andillustrated the entire publication.

She received a specially commissioned trophy as well as a cash prize for herself and the Institute.

Vivienne Lynn, Fashion Promotion & Illustration programme leader, said: "Anna has worked hard to build her talent for fashion and communication into a professional skill, and is most deserving of this award."
