FASHION: Get set for best dressed in the west

Western suburbs students can stitch up success this September when they take part in the annual Fashion Awards Australia.

The event will have hundreds of budding fashion designers from high schools throughout the west presenting their best pieces before an audience.

Awards will be presented for best outfits in a range of categories.

Awards organiser Heather Marcus said Fashion Awards Australia had grown from a Wyndham-only event to become a western suburbs institution.

“It’s important because there is nothing like it anywhere else in Australia,” Ms Marcus said.

Ms Marcus said a win for TAFE students at Fashion Awards Australia would help create career pathways. “One of the reasons we do this is that we want to ensure that once students finish their TAFE studies they are able to find employment,” she said.

The Fashion Awards are at Lakeside Banquet and Convention Centre, Taylors Lakes, on Friday, September 12.
