Zandra Rhodes, international fashion designer
"It's been great to see such an infinite variety of entrants, from all over the world. This shows the international appeal this fashion competition has which is fantastic. The winning collection by Igor Galas showed wonderful originality that could be translated to a commercial success. His collection demonstrated individuality and his modesty in presenting his collection and describing how he made it was refreshing."

Andrew Logan, jeweller and sculptor
"Paula's collection is perfect for the fashion world and the execution of her work is wonderful. The scale of her pieces and the silhouette of her work makes it very dramatic and arresting".

Margo Barton, Academic Leader and Principal Lecturer (Fashion), School of Design, Otago Polytechnic "There have been some real stand-outs among this year's finalists! We've seen a number of strong, cohesive collections and these are the designers that have been most successful. It's great to see the gap between New Zealand, Australian and European designers is getting smaller and smaller. This is hugely encouraging for young New Zealand designers; it's so important that we support them to continue to define their craft."
