As part of Vogue’s prestigious Emerging Designer Award at the 2025 Melbourne Cup Carnival, my original look was selected for presentation for the preliminary finals. My design stood out for its innovation, craftsmanship and distinctive creative vision. The award and presentation celebrates the next generation of fashion talent, spotlighting designers whose work pushes the boundaries and redefines contemporary style. Earning recognition from industry leaders and positioning my work among the most promising voices in emerging fashion was an amazing experience.
