Ballet and goddesses, dinosaurs
and moustaches - UCOL Fashion 2011
Visionary work by
Third Year Fashion students at Whanganui UCOL goes on show
to the public this month.
The annual exhibition of
work by Bachelor of Fashion third year students opens at the
Federal Gallery on 24 May.
Student spokesperson
Heather Kubiak says this year the focus is on the number 3.
“The students are in their third year and the collections
are a combination of three outfits.
“Inspiration
for the garments is as varied as it is wearable and shows a
growing vision, with attention to detail that epitomizes the
quality of the Bachelor of Fashion programme. The themes
range from ballet to dinosaurs, Greek goddesses to
mustaches, futuristic work to suits of
armour.”
Programme Leader Amanda Rayner says
examples of the students’ work will also compete in a
national competition. “They will each choose one of their
garments to be entered in Fashion Quarterly’s Young
Designer of the Year competition.
Amanda says the
final year students have been extremely dedicated in the
completion of their mini collections. “The exhibition
will be well worth seeing for the diverse vision and
interpretation from each student.”
The exhibition
will be held in the Federal Gallery on the corner of Taupo
Quay and Drews Ave and is open to the public from Tuesday 24
May to Friday 27 May from 11am – 2pm. Entry is
free.e
