Two Liverpool women are flying the flag for the overlooked North as they take their first steps into the world of high-end fashion.
Hannah Baker, from Walton, and Aleisha Petafi, from Crosby, were two of just 30 aspiring fashion designers selected worldwide to study at the elite Jimmy Choo Fashion Academy in London. Now in their first year, the former City of Liverpool College students are hoping to break into the fashion industry in their own different ways.
Hannah, 19, said: "It's amazing we've got in. We're just two girls from Liverpool when there's people from all around the world here - there's people from Thailand, America, there's someone from Paris.
