Balikis Akindiya

UK

Fashion Design BFA

My name is Balikis Akindiya, I'm a Fashion model and a fashion and textiles student. I did a tailoring Apprenticeship at a very young age in Nigeria, Africa. I'm a Black British born in 2004. I specialise in textiles and I do them very well. I'm leaving Nottingham college as a Level 3 BTEC Fashion and Textiles student in June, to student at University. I got an unconditional offer from Sheffield and NTU University to study fashion design. I really love textiles but I would like to do more sewing and learn more for better construction. Do textiles on the side too.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
