A Bridlington student has secured a place at the prestigious Jimmy Choo Fashion Academy in London after impressing a selection panel.
Cerys Reece, recently excelled in her A’ Level exams at Bridlington School, gaining two A*results in Art, Craft & Design and Textiles and also a distinction in Law.
Cerys, 18, who’s parents own Gabby’s Fish & Chip shop on High Street in Bridlington, was understandably excited about her place at the Mayfair-based academy.
“There are only 15 people each year selected for the course from thousands of applicants in the U.K. and worldwide.” explained Cerys.
“Fortunately I had an unconditional offer for the three-year course – but I am really excited, but still nervous.”
Cerys, who has three sisters and one brother who all study at Bridlington School, is a familiar face at the family-run fish and chip shop in Old Town, having worked behind the counter since she was 14 alongside her parents Richard and Susan.
She will be studying the three year Design and Accessories course, which will involve travel to the famous design houses in Paris and Milan as well as other world capitals.
Jimmy Choo, OBE, is the world famous pioneer of handmade luxury shoes and is the creative director of the newly opened academy based in central London with a satellite site to the west of the city.
