Judging these scarves was not an easy task. Student did an excellent job executing their ideas into scarf design, you’re all winners in our eyes.
Scarves are now on sale at Limelight Gallery in Central, Sydney.
After some time deliberating over the beautiful print submissions we had to choose our winner and 2 runner ups. What we were looking for was a overall repeating print with unique elements that would translate well into their overall collection designs. Students quickly realised that when digitally printing even a pixel can make a difference, here are our winners.
The Winner is:
Sarah Smith
We chose Sarah Smith’s design as the winner for her unique hand drawn designs, inspired by the crusades.
1st Runner up is:
Malani Biasetto
We loved the collage of texture displayed on Malani Biasetto’s repeating print. We thought it was a great way to display an array of prints inspired by Morrocan tiles
2nd Runner up is:
Jacqueline Wong
Jacqueline Wongs repeat came in 2nd runner up for using an image of a shipwreck inspired by a nautical theme into a textured all over print.
Along with our competition with TAFE we were also asked to contribute to the 2nd year Fashion Design capsule ranges.
We wanted students to build on their knowledge about printing and how to get a print to repeat. We gave students colour palettes to work with and asked that they design a repeat print to go with their collection.We received 22 submissions which we had the very difficult task of choosing the winner and 2 runners up. Here are the 22 designs, which are your favourites?
