Fashion Schools
Box Hill Institute
Box Hill Institute fashion programs teach aspiring designers sustainable design concepts as well as business, technical and digital skills.
Sustainable fashion is the core of our Fashion degree programs. This includes circular design and circular economy. Through collaborative industry projects students learn from in-house professionals. Industry workplace internships, industry visits, industry panel forums and industry presentations are all part of the student experience. The learning journey is exciting whilst students are prepared to be work ready from a local and international perspective.
STUDENTS
Olivia Ferronato
‘Dear Me’ unifies Olivia’s childhood and current design identity, and is an ode to years spent playing with shape, colour, and texture. This era of experimentation is honored through recycled materials and handcrafted textiles, such as repurposed scuba, scrap fabric, discarded metal, and high-visibility workwear threaded with an originally-designed loom.
Accessories by Plastique.
Laura Mazzarella
‘SICILIA’ is an exploration of Sicilian culture through the use of custom Maiolica prints and citrus dehydration. The collection plays heavily on texture, voluminous silhouettes and true Italian effortless presence. Innovative techniques include using dehydrated lemon peel to create new and unique textural elements, surface enhancement and symbolisation.
Nam Tran
‘THE WISH TO LIVE’ is inspired by the story of Sadako and the thousand paper cranes. In this collection, haute couture techniques and sustainable practices converge in fabric manipulation methods. To reduce waste, Nam experiments with patterns, fusing together small pieces of fabric with hidden seams and changing the grain line to reduce off cut material.
