Awards & Recognitions

  • Open Champion Designer 2025.

    1st Place Winner in the Open Category (over 18s) with my original design entered into the Fairholme Fashion Week Awards 2025.

    The brief was entitled "Nostalgically You", which was to be interpreted with an original use of fabrics, finishes, techniques, and design choices - with a particular emphasis on sustainability.

    For my second year in the competition, my look was inspired by music that transports me elsewhere. Entitled “Moon River”, I incorporated Italian tweed from my travels, remnant fabrics from my past, and hand-dyed elements, with a focus on natural fibres such as cotton, wool, and silk.

  • Open Champion Designer 2024.

    1st Place Winner in the Open Category (over 18s) with my original design entered into the Fairholme Fashion Week Awards 2024.

    The brief was entitled "Red, red rose", which was to be interpreted with an original use of fabrics, finishes, techniques, and design choices - with a particular emphasis on sustainability.

    My look was constructed entirely from remnant fabric offcuts to minimise waste and adopt a frugal approach to my runway outfit, with a focus on natural fibres such as cotton, linen, and silk.

  • After entering ALOHAS very first Shoe Design Contest in 2023, my original design was voted into the top ten applicants, and later was announced the winner.

    First place prize included the development and manufacture of my shoe design “Emelia” as a collaboration with the ALOHAS brand, the release of the shoe amongst their shoe collections, as well as tuition fees covered to study anywhere in the world.

    Choosing to study in Florence, Italy, I completed a shoemaking course to further pursue my passion and expertise for footwear.
