Auckland designer scoops fashion award
Emerging designer Michael Day has won a prestigious fashion title for this colourful ensemble.
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.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
