Fashion star Jason shines

LUSCIOUS layering, looped belts and light-weight lapels hung temptingly to beautiful models when a Dagenham designer's work went before the global fashion elite.Former Robert Clack schoolboy Jason McCarthy proudly displayed his cutting edge designs for women's clothing, as his MA graduation fashion show got underway last week.

The 24-year-old, a student of the prestigious Royal College of Art, is now likely to be snapped up by any of the top designer fashion-houses, who circle the trendy student event in search of tomorrow's stars.Jason's designs impressed the baying fashionistas and drew noticeable excitement from the sharp-sighted catwalk crowds.

His collection, which included trench-coats, blouses and flat panelled trousers, portrayed an imaginative union where romantic fabrics met military styles.

A flow of models commandeered the stage bearing sleek cuts and clean lines followed by more distressed styles, while tones of grey, black and white were consistent throughout Jason's uniquely wearable debut collection.Jason, who grew up in Dagenham's Pasture Road, where he lives with his grandmother, has already achieved stardom in his hometown.Proud John Hamill is Jason's former art teacher at Robert Clack and has known the talented designer for 11 years.

Mr Hamill attended the fashion show and said: "Jason is possibly one of the highest achievers ever to come from our school and we are extremely proud of him." Jason's collection was displayed over three days at the Royal College of Art site, in Kensington Gore, London.

He told the POST: "The show went great and I received some fantastic reviews. However, when I do reflect on where I have come from and what school was like for me, it was and still is, the best time I ever had.
