The title of Yorkshire Fashion Idol 2008 went to Ryan Heard of Huddersfield with an outfit inspired by Victorian coal miners and the Industrial Revolution. His design featured a trench/bomber-style jacket worn over a granddad-collar shirt, with drape-style shorts which ran into a skinny-leg design. The Judges chose Ryan's winning design as his attention to detail was incredible. He was also very organised with his plans for the future, even down to having a full business plan and the judges were sure that he would become a strong brand name.
