Student Fashion Showcase Highlights Outstanding Young Talent
In 2017 HETTANZ member school students from around New Zealand have once again entered outstanding work for the HETTANZ
Student Fashion Awards judged last week.
“The Home Economics and Technology Teachers Association of New Zealand (HETTANZ) Student Fashion Awards are a wonderful
way to celebrate student achievement in Textiles Technology,” says HETTANZ President, Sarah Wirth
“The outstanding level and variety of garments from students all over the country shows that Textiles Technology is
being taught in an inspiring and creative way.” says Sarah Sarah said HETTANZ, with major Sponsor Bernina, is proud to
support fashion and textiles technology teachers and their students through this annual competition. Bernina provided
Burnette sewing machines for all of the first place winners.
Thanks also goes to Birch Creative for providing prizes for all of the second place winners.
“A wide range of garments using mutable fabrics was great to see, we sure do have some very talented students. Well done
to all of the entrants and congratulations to the winners, a big shout out to the teachers for their guidance and
patience,” said chief judge from Bernina, Julie Veck.
Judge Judy Coleman commented on the wide range of techniques and fabrics used to produce a range of outstanding entries.
“Thank you to all the entrants who sent in work for judging. A special thank you to the caregivers and teachers who
supported these entries.”
Open to all HETTANZ member school students working in materials technology, fashion technology, clothing and textiles,
schools were asked to manage a ‘selection’ process and send only the best two garments in each category for national
judging.
Congratulations to these successful students.
