Musician students are signed up as models

Two music students from Bath Spa University are swapping their studios for the catwalk, after being recruited as models by a UK fashion house.

Stephanie Ward and Sebastian Brice, who are both in Bath-based rock bands, have been signed up by Burberry and they have already been strutting their stuff in photo shoots.

They also feature in a new compilation CD which aims to help develop emerging British music talent.
Joe Bennett from Bath Spa University said: "It's always wonderful to see our music graduates and students in such high-profile industry roles.

"It's particularly pleasing in this case because Stephanie and Sebastian are well-known from their creative work."

Stephanie plays piano and sings for the five-piece band Kill It Kid and was spotted by the firm while performing in Texas, USA in March 2010.

Sebastian is guitarist and lead vocalist for the band Avius - his modelling career began in November 2009 when he was spotted while on holiday in Amsterdam.
