“There are so many talented designers in New Zealand who should win a place in this competition and we have three places to award, so to help us decide, we’ve built a quick turn-around competition” says Designer Direction owner Melody Wehipeihana.
“As well as a place in the fashiontv online designer awards, the winners from our competition will get a professional photo shoot at Kingsize Studios with hair styling by industry great Richard Kavanagh, models from Clyne Management and make up by a M.A.C Cosmetics artist – we’re very lucky to have great people supporting us”
