And the winner…

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Of the 2010 RMIT student prize is shopgirl pal Laura Anderson! This particular award was presented (for the first time) in-between the two RMIT student runway shows on Saturday night.

Her leather-clad collection of corsetry-cum-sportswear was black and spliced with industrial inspired digi prints, a little bit goth, a little bit futuristic and totally mind-blowing.

Laura is now off to Milan to complete an internship with an international design house of her choice.  Make sure you come see us when your first collection samples are ready! (pics taken from fashionising.com)

Run to Paradise…

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Our good pal REJ from threethousand scribbled about the installation in this weeks issue, have a look (she is much more eloquent than this shopgirl could ever be!)
