The latest winner of a fashion award for students launched in memory of a highly regarded Dudley man has been announced.
The Roy Pedley Award was launched three years ago in tribute to the former Rotary Club of Dudley president.
Roy was a widely respected textiles expert, Rotarian and local magistrate who passed away three years ago aged 89.
This year’s award, which includes a £500 bursary, has been won by former Dudley College student Nikoletta Jonkisz - with the 20-year-old impressing judges with her fashion designs, innovative ideas and knowledge.
She is now going on to study at the highly-admired Kingston University in London.
Roy’s son Andrew Pedley, said: "The award continues to be a really popular annual fixture with students at Dudley College and it showcases the brightest fashion, design and textile students in the area.
“Nikoletta had a collection of superb design ideas and concepts and is a worthy winner with a big future in the fashion and textiles industry.”
