Queens Plaza Avant Guarde Competition





Hello everybody!
If you were wandering around queens plaza on Thursday you may have seen the Sunday Mail doing a shoot with 4 of the 15 finalists in the queens plaza avant guarde competition.
1 of those 4 is one of the student designers that we have in the Religion of Fashion Tea Party coming up in May(more on that later).
I studied with Amy when I transferred my course to QLD and my, she is one cool chick! And a talented one at that!



Amy's avant guarde design is picking up heaps of attention,
"My design is entitled World's Kaleid.
Inspired by industrial lighting design company, Foscarini's lighting fixture series Allegro which is built from oversized metal frames. The dominant shape of the light inspired the extreme silhouette of the tulle overpants, which incase 48 pieces of 4mm diameter dowl (wooden rods).

The print design on the bodysuit was exclusively designed by [myself] using a kaleidoscope technique on Photoshop. The Kaleidoscope pattern was inspired by an installation video on their website called Infinity, which illustrates the magic of light and objects in the Foscarini world. By colliding these two major design elements of an extreme silhouette and an orginal kaleidoscope print, this is how I came-up with the title for the Avant-garde piece."



Amy's in it to win it, and you can vote for her to help her launch her career into the industry at:
