Midlands fashion designer wins TV competition

Sergio Hudson, a fashion designer from Ridgeway, has won the Bravo reality competition “Styled to Rock,” hosted by singer Rihanna.

The fashion competition ended last week. As the winner, Hudson gets a $100,000 prize, a feature in Glamour magazine and a chance to join Rihanna’s style team.

Judges on the show include singer Pharrell Williams.

Hudson has shown his designs often in the Midlands, including a 2012 benefit show with Steven Cojocaru, the fashion designer to the stars.

On his Instagram account, Hudson gushed: “It’s easy to get discouraged. You changed me that night I am forever thankful!”
