Thirteen students recently represented Kristin at the annual TOI Wearable Art Showcase at the Aotea Centre, competing against 218 entries from Auckland. Having excelled in our Kristin competition, they earned the opportunity to showcase their talents on the Auckland runway.

 

Throughout the day, they participated in workshops, posed for photos and rehearsed, often seen making last-minute adjustments with hot glue guns.

 

We are thrilled to announce that all four Kristin entries received technical awards:

 

Innovative Use of Materials: Holes in Perfection by Yiyi Chen, Eva Xia and Dora Zhang and Woven Together by Michaela Miles, Zoe Coward and Sarah Bryne

 

Outstanding Stage Presence: Reverie Timekeeper by Emily Wang, Meilin Mao, Cynthia Chang and Rebecca Shi

 

Creative Concept: Si Chuang, Lisa Yang, Avrille Zhong & Elisha Wu

 

Our students also won a prestigious 'STAR OF THE NIGHT' trophy for Holes in Perfection, a garment symbolising life’s imperfections and the resilience needed to overcome challenges.

 

The students dedicated countless hours to designing and refining their garments, making the awards a well-deserved achievement.
