Some of you may remember, that I was Fashion Category Producer for the Soya Awards last month. The Final Top 10 have been announced and it's my pleasure to bring them to your attention. Allow me to introduce them to you;
Jade Sarita Arnott for Arnsdorf
Kristy Barber for Kuwaii
Gary Bigeni
Alexi Freeman
Clea Garrick & Nathan Price for Limedrop
Claire Greaves for Maise Label
Shannon Gunn for Tom Gunn
Vicki Lee for myPetsQuare, sQ, mYmYheYheY
Anna Plunkett and Luke Sales for Romance Was Born
Ingrid Verner for TV
Every time I hear a judge say "it was a tough choice".. I kind of yawn... but I can truly tell you how hard this was. There was a group of about 25 individual designers who covered accessories, clothing, Jewellery who have proven their business and design skills and I really do want to say, I'm sorry Qantas can't give each of you $10,000 (on that note.. give me $10,000 Qantas!). To those who didn't make the Top 10, keep on trucking and make your brand the best it can be and enter again next year...
To those designers listed above, Good luck to you as well. A very diverse, talented, motivated bunch who ensure that Australian Fashion is looking bright.
The Winner and Prize ($5,000 Cash, $5,000 Qantas Flights & mentorship with Zimmermann) will be announced on Wednesday 11th November 2009. Visit website for more info.
