NZ Fashion Student Hits Hong Kong, Milan
Wednesday, 13 August 2008
The prestigious Champion of Creative Wear prize was won by an Otago Polytechnic fashion designer at the Hong Kong invitational fashion contest.
(Via Otago Polytechnic) Third year student Meg Gallagher said her outfit, which was designed to be worn by most body shapes, won the overall award for the creative wear section of the contest held earlier this month.
The design was created during her second year programme and featured a "clip off" woollen dress.
Ms Gallagher said she entered the competition about two months ago and was excited to have won a section. It would help to further her profile in the fashion industry.
Last year, Ms Gallagher was selected for an exchange to Milan to study fashion under the New Zealand Undergraduate Study Abroad Award, and was also runner-up with a design entered in the prestigious Fashion Quarterly annual fashion competition.
