Challenger TAFE 2009 Graduate show – sustainable design and RTW

Posted by on Nov 17, 2009 in 2009

I’m nervously posting this as my laptop started playing up. It could well get stuck in the midway to give me the dreadful spinning wheel of death. While the technology is letting me down I have a fashion talk to cover tomorrow and three shows to shoot next week.

Talking about shows, I have all the photos from Architextile – Challenger TAFE 2009 Graduate Show loaded in Facebook and Flickr. While I looked through what really grabbed me was a couple of outfits from the sustainable and eco design. The last piece is designed by Louise McMahon and it was also shown at the Perth Fashion Festival as part of the Student Runway.

The sustainable design is more of the ‘op-shop shopping turned into a new outfit’. It must have been fun. It’s not just about creating new garments from old. It’s a total restyling which I find so exciting. I wish I could buy those two outfits ha ha..

There were, of course 13, graduates presenting four garments each. I’d like to pick my favourites soon and show them to you. By the way, have you picked out a pair of shoes for me yet? See the previous post…

    Hey S!
    Thanks so much for coming to our show!
    That black and brass number form PFF was actually from the ECO section not RTW and was made by Louise McMahon. There was a slight glitch with the slides and designers names on the evening unfortunatly. xx

    hello. I thought so. Thank you for the correction. I'll replace the image shortly. Would you happen to know who other designers were?
