TAFE Coser Award pt1

Postby wendellt on Thu Jul 27, 2006 4:33 am

Last night i was so fortunate to witness the best student fashion design fashion show ever

Some of Australia’s hottest young designers battled it out for the prestigious Croser Award. The show showcased the creations of Australia’s leading fashion design studio, East Sydney TAFE which has produced some of Australia’s top designers. Free from commercial constraints student design is always much more innovative and creative.

Wonderful Haute Couture set against the striking back drop of The Strand Arcade, i produced my best backstage ever, full length and in fashion editorial style

28-70, sb800 on sc-29

this dress was amazing all hand made with organza and silk
designer Vanna Nhoung

Wendell, that last pic is just absolutely haunting :shock: The contrast of her hair and lips with the rest of the environment is tops!

I like the warm colours of the first pic a lot as well.

Top work once again dude :) Can't wait to see the rest of the shoot.

hi glen

i know your joking

but i must say press work isn't easy it's hard work, last minute notifaction ready or not you have to cover backstage, red carpet, runway, socials and handle spoilt models, be charming and maintain composure while being creative and technical

it's not all glitz and glamour

Ahh yes Wendell - all the above may be true, but you MAKE it look like glitz and glamour and that's what makes you so good! :)

A year ago I would have made the following statement - ”You have a talent that will develop but, unfortunately, I will be long gone before you make a mark!” - I was wrong. . .
