2007 National Student Design Awards Winner
Jose Luis Alveraz
Jose, student at RMIT University, Brunswick recieved a resounding applause of appreciation and confirmation that he was the worthy winner of this year's National Student Design Awards. Jose will enjoy a trip to Paris and 4 weeks tuition at the renowned Paris American Academy working with Peter Carman as his Mentor. The inspiration of Jose's designs came from the medieval era, in particular the crusades of that point in time. He based many of his designs on the outfits, armour and garments of the middle ages, ranging from European battlers through to the warriors of Asia. He was also inspired by the irregular lines found within in the construction of Melbourne's own Federation Square. By merging the main ideas of these two strong themes, he created a small range of garments entitled "Warriors". Pictured above (from left to right), Jose's model and garment, Barry White CEO The International Fibre Centre, and Jose. Thanks to The International Fibre Centre, a key supporter of education and training, Jose can look forward to attending his tuition at the PAA. 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!
