The 23-year-old took the 2020 winner's prize for the Resene Colour of Fashion on Thursday night.
The Pakuranga resident was awarded with a sewing machine, a pair of engraved shears and fabric vouchers, worth a total $1000.
Day said earlier he was looking forward to getting some feedback from the judges.
"I was full of good nerves," he said.
"Nerves keep you pushing."
The young designer takes military style elements like cargo pockets and silhouettes from clothes worn by revolutionaries into his designs.
A perfect gift for the Pussy Cat lovers out there coming up to Christmas.

"This recovery budget aims to meet the challenges posed by COVID-19 and the massive financial impact it has had on the city, while ensuring that the burden on ratepayers is kept as low and fair as possible," Goff says.
"This not a slash-and-burn budget but it's also not the budget we had hoped to put out at the start of the year. We have to accept that COVID has changed our financial landscape and change our plans accordingly."
The budget responds to the COVID-19 loss by:
=====================================
***Locking in savings of at least $90 million each year for the next three years
***Selling surplus properties to invest in critical infrastructure
***Temporarily increasing borrowing for three years by lifting the debt-to-revenue ratio to up to 290 percent, then returning to the current level
***Increasing rates by 5 percent by one year before returning to 3.5 percent the following year
======================================
Goff warns without taking these measures "our city will go backwards". "We don't want a city full of potholes and unkept parks, so we need to take more urgent action now," he says. "While not all Aucklanders will be thrilled with a one-off rates bump of $36, it is a one-off measure that amounts to less than 70 cents a week for the average property. "Now is not the time to cut back on fixing our city's infrastructure. We have been catching up on decades of underinvestment through our previous 10-year budget and were making significant progress on our infrastructure deficit. We cannot allow that momentum to be wasted."
=========================================================
