A PRESTON model will be dressed to kill this weekend when she struts down the catwalk Naomi Campbell-style.

Student Eseyoma Sodje, 24, will join 26 budding models on Saturday when they parade in the latest designs for a two-day conference at the University of Central Lancashire, Preston.

The 5ft 10ins degree student is no stranger to the catwalk after showing off designer outfits at shows in London.

And now she is planning a trip to the US this summer to try her luck on the American modelling scene.

Eseyoma, who is from London, said: "I'm excited about the show this weekend. I'm not afraid of modelling anymore. I'll wear anything whether it's see-through or not. I'm comfortable with myself."

"I don't want to model forever, I have my degree to fall back on, but it would be fun for a while," she said.

The event, titled: 'Empower and Engage', is organised by Millennium Volunteers, based at the Preston university, in recognition of the youth volunteering.

There will be stalls, guest speakers, food, drama and to top it all, a fashion show on Saturday evening, with models from Millennium Volunteers. Eseyoma will be modelling western and Asian style clothes, supplied by local fashion outlets.

She spent her childhood jetting between England and her family's home country, Nigeria.

Now she has designs on making stylish clothes for footballers -- an idea sparked-off by her brother, Efetobo, who played soccer for Nigeria in the World Cup and now plays for Crewe.

She said: "Footballers can't dress properly, neither can my brother, so I would like to style them.

"The only one who has any real taste is David Beckham and I think that's because of Victoria. I love them."
