Third place was awarded to Anh Nguyen Phan Ha, a level 2 Fashion Textiles student from Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore. Her entry was entitled 'Exquisitely Bold', and the judges commented "the colour palette is daring, elegant and perfectly in balance, and her inspiration is youthful and fresh. She has connected the past to the future to create something very new". Anh commented: "my design philosophy is to use personal preferences and build up visual concepts intensely through colours, in which I hope to give the audience unique experiences. As an aspiring textile designer, the CSI Colour Award is truly a wonderful opportunity for me to challenge myself as well as showcasing my work and gaining recognition. Many thanks and appreciations to the CSI team for holding such a valuable competition for students. I'm looking forward to the next event."
