Appearing on stage with Carla Zampatti, Bianca Spender, and Whitehouse graduate Daniel Avakian, the students presented an exciting finale of the event entitled “The Art of Fashion”. Rich fabrics, unusual and contemporary silhouettes adorned the Art Gallery’s main hall. First year fashion student Maddy Carroll was awarded the ‘Best Dressed Award’ for the evening. It must have been her spectacular 60’s inspired outfit and silver tights! Congratulations Maddy!

STUDENT NEWS: styling & creative direction

 

First year styling students have been working on a challenging and innovative project titled "Eco Couture" in which they were required to contruct a couture gown made from recycled materials and objects. Encouraged to investigate unique fabrication and adornment the styling studio has been turned into a treasure trove of all things rubbish.

Students have created glamourous and editorial looking shoots with no more than plastic bags, straws and everyday trash.  These innovative pieces along with other works from the styling department will be on display at the End of Year Exhibition next week.

 

 

 

 

 

We look forward to seeing everyone at the End of Year Parade!
