Hotel backs students in the fashion stakes
STAFF at The Crown Hotel in Bawtry are set to soar up the fashion ratings this summer, thanks to a group of Doncaster students.
Youngsters on the BA Hons Fashion and Textile Design course at Doncaster College have been challenged to create new uniforms for The Crown Hotel, Bawtry, and its sister hotel, The Rutland Hotel in Sheffield.
Hotel director Craig Dowie said: "I want them to come up with something that is smart but trendy, reflecting the contemporary style of both The Crown and The Rutland.
"They have already developed some exciting ideas and I am looking forward to seeing my staff wearing the new designs later this year."
Already the Doncaster College students have shown they have the flair to rise to just about any challenge.
They designed an evening dress for opera singer Claire Groom's performance at the Royal Opera House in London, theatrical attire for the complete cast of The Marat Sade, which toured around Yorkshire, and designed and made the Doncaster Dragons Rugby Club mascot.
The students showcased their latest work at the annual Doncaster College and University Centre Doncaster Fashion Show last month.
The event was attended by buyers, stylists, Saville Row tailors, local and national press.
