The young designer, included among the Ones to Watch for Spring/Summer 2012, will receive a cash prize of £1,000 and will be able to showcase her collection in London and Paris thanks to the Vauxhall Fashion Scout sponsorship.
Martyn Roberts, the Director of Vauxhall Fashion Scout, commented: “Phoebe English has demonstrated a remarkable design talent which is reflected in the make of each piece. From her graduate collection through her Ones To Watch show she has explored individual techniques and is developing a unique vision of design. With the Merit Award she will be able to take this further and to an even wider audience.”
