A hairdresser from the region has completed an assignment that could lead to her rubbing shoulders with the stars.

Claire Morley, of Guisborough, took part in the Central St Martin's College of Art and Design Graduate Fashion Show in London.

Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen are two of the college's fashion designer graduates.

Models strode the catwalk at this year's graduate show, with a little help from Ms Morley.

The 21-year-old was a member of the L'Oreal Portfolio of Artistic Hairdressers, who worked on the models' hair.

"It was very exciting and a great opportunity,'' she said. "I worked as part of a team to create the three different looks for the show, as well as creating a spectacular Edwardian style with a focus on big hair, which was moulded into a chignon style.''

"It was brilliant to be involved in creating the looks and then to watch the show and see your work going down the catwalk.''

Miss Morley, who works at the Contemporary salon, in Guisborough, was one of only 14 hairdressers chosen to take part.
