The ID International Emerging Designer Awards are held in Dunedin. It is an annual competition which allows up and coming fashion designers to showcase their work and to gain recognition on an international level. It also provides the occasion for emerging designers to build industry contact and gain publicity – both of which are highly beneficial for designers who are hoping to begin their own label or to gain valuable experience within already established fashion houses. This competition awards a first prize of $5000, second prize of $3000 and third prize of $1000.
This year UTS students did extremely well in this competition, with Patricia Kapeleris being awarded second prize and Natalia Grzybowski acheiving third. This is very encouraging as it evidences the way in which UTS prepares students for the international stage.
