Meet our penultimate Avant Garde dress Top 10 finalist, Jade SImkins, from Fedisa. Inspired by artworks we look forward to seeing her “apocolypse upcycled denim” look.
Today we sat for Round 1 with our Avant Garde dress judging panel: Poppy Evans, ELLE magazine SA’s Senior Fashion Director, Kerry Bell from CTFC, myself, Sabrina Schenk from vida e caffè and Stephanie Wolhuteringgs from Pick n Pay; to select our Top 10 finalists.
Avant Garde dress is a Live Eco design initiative brought to you by Pick n Pay. The idea behind the competition is to inspire young designers to think more sustainably and holistically when it comes to their creations and instill an element of eco-consciousness into their design skills.
