Hye Jin Kim

An emotional Hye Jin Kim could not contain her excitement on being announced as the Grand Prize Winner of the prestigious National Student Design Awards in Melbourne recently.  A very worthy winner of this high profile competition for textile and design students at a national level, the Awards principal sponsor, the International Fibre Centre's CEO, Joseph Merola said "... the future of the TCF Industry is in good hands, if these students are anything to go by".  Hye's grand prize includes attending the famous Paris American Academy in July next year for 4 weeks intensive tuition and workshops.  Hye's winning entry was judged the best of over 140 submissions received from Australian students from various colleges and education facilities nationally.  Pictured above (from left to right), Hye Jin's model and garment,  Hye Jin and Joseph Merola CEO The International Fibre Centre .

TISA notes its appreciation to The International Fibre Centre, as naming rights sponsor of the competition & awards, and all other sponsors and supporters who make a designer's dream a reality!
