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?

We are kicking off this week with images from our scarf photo-shoot in which we tried to capture an amazing scarfs that were designed by fashion students from St George TAFE for our “Local Produce” woman’s scarf SS14 competition.
Here we go: model our Barbara Brayovic, photographer Maria Tanygina and you are be the judge.
All scarfs were printed and made at Digital Fabrics.
This pretty tote is one of the examples of what we do at Digital Fabrics. Made last week from scratch, designed, hand painted, printed and made at Digital Fabrics.
Earlier this year Digital Fabrics took forward a competition for the students at ST George TAFE to design a scarf inspired by the theme ‘local produce’ students had to research what this meant to them and interpret it into a 1 metre squared scarf design, they were also given 3 colours that they had to incorporate into their designs.
We received lots of submissions which we then had to choose winners from, here’s a peek at some of the designs the students came up with.
The winners will be announced at the MUSE, Ultimo TAFE on the 28th of OCT, the scarves will also be displayed to see at the MUSE on the 28-30th of October.
Hope to see you all there!
