Success at the Textile Institute Awards 2011

In October 2011 I was a successful entrant in the

Textile Institute's (TISA) Fashion Design Awards for both my Mens and Womenswear.

I was lucky enough to walk away with the grand prize of the event, which includes four weeks tuition and accommodation at The Paris American Academy (PAA) in Paris.

I was also awarded the Audience Choice Award and an internship with Maggie T in Melbourne.

'The TISA Awards Showcase presented over 12 finalists from across the educational sectors Australia-wide providing unique recruitment and promotional opportunities. The annual Textile Institute Southern Australian Section (TISA) design competition is for full time fashion students across Australia. It provides students with the opportunity to participate in an exciting competition that brings together industry partners and potential employees - the future of the TCF industry. TISA is the only professional organisation in the textile and fibre industry that provides the unique opportunity for Australian fashion and textiles students to study overseas at the prestigious Paris American Academy.'

A big thank you to my beautiful models Micaela Dietrich, Louise Sanger, Erin Deering, Matt Sanger and John for shining bright on the night.
