Meet Luke Mackle, 22, one of the 15 finalists chosen by our judges to fight for the Fashion Faces of the Future title in the Sunday Herald’s competition.
Biography:
I am a 22-year-old joint honours French/Russian student at the University of Glasgow.
I currently live in Partick, but come from Crossford, a village in the Clyde Valley.
I've been lucky enough to travel a lot and have just spent 10 months in Russia followed by another two in the south of France. It has been a fantastic year, though I can't believe how much I miss Russia.
I am a pianist and a huge music lover, everything from folk to jazz. Whilst I love my football, I'm not a player - my sports are skateboarding and snowboarding.
I have been pretty lucky with my student job, finding work in Vivienne Westwood. I also translate on a voluntary basis for the European Court of Human Rights Advocacy Centre in London, which is a fantastic not-for-profit organisation.
What I study is central to my life, and I'm lucky to love what I do.
The finalists will take part in a Jigsaw fashion show on November 18 at the Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow. The show is in aid of charity Debra, which works with people with the skin-blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).
Two winners will be chosen on the night - one male and one female - and the prize for each includes a one-year contract with The Model Team as well as £500 to spend in Jigsaw and a selection of images taken by Herald & Times Group Photographers.
Tickets for the final fashion show event cost £30 each, and include a drinks and canape reception on arrival plus a fashion show featuring the finalists and Jigsaw clothing. To book tickets to attend, please contact Lyndsay Wilson on 0141 302 7407 or email Lyndsay.wilson@heraldandtimes.co.uk
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
