Read about Nosipho’s work placement at Tesco clothing here.

Nosipho Ndaba, 19, is originally from Durban, South Africa and now attends Burntwood School in Wandsworth. She was named as joint winner of the 3rd FAD Junior Awards and is looking forward to her prize – a work placement at the Tesco Clothing design studios where she will put her fashion design skills to the test, working alongside Tesco’s team of experienced fashion professionals.

Her outfit impressed the judges by combining distinctive originality with sporty simplicity and evoked Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the striking choice of colours. It was Nosipho’s attention to all the angles of the brief – creativity, market awareness and cultural inspiration – that won the jury panel over as well as the fact that her final garment was extremely well made.

Her unique mini-dress was modelled on the catwalk by FF2 2006 finalist Daisy Boateng. Nosipho was over the moon to be named as a winner, and said: "I hope that FAD continues to motivate students and encourage them in pursuing their chosen careers, because that is what they have done for me. Thank you!!"
