Featuring collections by student designers from Box Hill Institute, LCI Melbourne, RMIT School of Fashion and Textiles and Whitehouse Institute of Design Australia.
Styled by Stuart Walford.
The Swatch invites audiences into the earliest stages of fashion creation, where ideas first take shape through fabric, texture and experimentation.
Celebrating the humble swatch as a canvas for exploration, this graduate showcase reveals the hands-on process behind emerging designers’ work. From trial techniques and creative breakthroughs to the tactile decisions that define a collection, the show foregrounds the raw, in-between moments of making, offering a rare glimpse into the collective vision of the next generation of fashion talent.
After this display of innovation and fresh creativity, join in celebrating the winner of this year’s M/FW Student Award.
