Epsom graduate Hanna-Marie Hutchison is destined to become one of the big names in the fashion world.

Hanna-Marie’s latest creation, a glamorous ruby red ball gown, was chosen by television celebrity and Wag Joanna Taylor for an appearance at a ball, and for a photoshoot for OK magazine.

The fashion fanatic graduated from the University for the Creative Arts, Epsom, last summer after completing a BA and a Masters degree in fashion.

Her boyfriend, who is a golf instructor, gave Joanna’s father some lessons and mentioned his girlfriend’s new career.

Joanna, who is the long term girlfriend of Liverpool footballer Danny Murphy, and starred in Hollyoaks, was shown some of Hanna-Marie’s drawings and decided that the new graduate was the right person to design a special dress for her.

Hanna-Marie is currently working on an evening gown for Sky News presenter Lucy Alexander. Hanna-Marie said: “Working with celebrities over the past year has been very exciting and lots of fun.”
