Professor Margaret House, Vice Chancellor of Leeds Trinity University, says Gabby Logan's gown is the perfect representation of the city.
To celebrate their first ever Chancellor, Leeds Trinity University have designed a gown to represent all things Leeds.
Yorkshire-born TV presenter Gabby Logan will wear the gown for her "installation" ceremony on June 6.
It's been designed by Leeds graduate designer, Kate Duckworth, and was produced at Leeds Industrial Museum at Armley Mills. The gown is being made with cloth from Hainsworth's 230 year old Mill in Pudsey.
But the gown in its entirety is being kept under wraps until it is worn by the new Chancellor.
Fresh from winning the new Saturday night TV ratings battle Gabby Logan was back in her native Yorkshire today to accept her latest honour.
Gabby dipped her toes in the water on ITV1 at the weekend by hosting Splash, but this afternoon she was unveiled as the first Chancellor of the new Leeds Trinity University and held a masterclass for some of the media students in the university's own TV studio.
Duncan Wood caught up with her.
Leeds Trinity University has appointed Gabby Logan as its first Chancellor.
She is being officially unveiled in the role today and will be meeting staff and students, and will deliver a mini media master class to students.
