A TALENTED graduate needs your help to prove her clothing designs deserve to be featured in Vogue.
Harriet Rushmer, whose family lives in Park Avenue, Grimsby, needs as many votes as possible to help her reach the final 50 of the prestigious Vogue Talents competition.
The 23-year-old was scouted to enter the annual contest after showcasing her final collection at Graduate Fashion Week, in London.
She has since been shortlisted from more than 400 applicants to reach the public vote stage.
Harriet said: "I was very surprised to be selected but very happy that all my hard work is finally paying off.
"I wanted to create a collection that would have a catwalk impact but that girls like me could also wear as individual pieces. I also wanted to get a good grade from my university!
"I would be so happy if I won and I would love to make my family and everyone from my home town proud."
Harriet now needs as many votes as possible to help her reach the final 50 competitors, who will be presented to Vogue senior fashion and talents editor Sara Maino.
Sara will then select the overall winner, who will be able to design a wearable collection with Muuse and Vogue.
It would be a dream come true for Harriet, who grew up in Grimsby and attended Tollbar, Franklin College and Grimsby Art And Design College.
She left the area to study fashion at the University Of East London and has now graduated.
Harriet added: "For as long as I can remember I have always loved clothes and drawing, so a career in fashion was always what I wanted to do.
"I would love to have a career as a designer working on the high street. I can't wait to hopefully one day see someone walking down the street in one of my designs!"
