As part of my course we were set an amazing challenge to create beautiful couture cocktail dresses out of Kleenex Cottonelle toilet tissue with an emphasis on showing the softness and luxury of the brand. While this may bring to mind images of models wrapped up mummy-like in toilet paper, make no mistake - the standard was extremely high. Here are the three finalists - Tanya Jeffrey, Kapi Fonua & Kei Ho with the winner in the centre:
The three finalists went on to have their dresses shown at New Zealand Fashion Week where the winner was announced. In
this video Tagata Pasifika talk to the winner Kapi Fonua about his journey.
The project was massive and the learning experience was incredible and best explained in our school video diaries. See the full list
here (with a video of me explaining how the tissue was made into fabric) and the judging day
here. I think the videos truly show how much passion and talent went into the dresses and I expect big things from our final collections at the end of this year!
