<p>Box Hill Institute fashion students are getting results with their innovative garments and capturing the attention of the broader fashion industry.</p>
<p>In 2018, Bachelor of Fashion alumna, Tess Whitfort won the world&rsquo;s largest sustainable fashion design competition, the Redress Design Award, and this year, she launched her label at the 2019 Melbourne Fashion Week, Pendulum Studios.</p>
<p>At the London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020 show this year, 2018 Bachelor of Fashion graduate, Rachael Wilton showed off her debut collection &ndash; Withering &ndash; from her label, Sun in Leo The Label.</p>
<p>During Melbourne Fashion Week 2019, Bachelor of Fashion student Chelsea Subala won the Student Design award for her collection, SLAY.</p>
<p>If you want to be the best of the best in fashion, there&rsquo;s only one place to study.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Third year Box Hill Institute Bachelor of Fashion student, Chelsea Subala has taken out the 2019 Melbourne Fashion Week Student Design award.</p>
<p>The second Box Hill Institute student to win the award in three years, Chelsea said her collection - SLAY - was inspired by people who had mental illness and were suffering anxiety or depression, and it was influenced by Melbourne's street art graffiti.</p>
<p>Chelsea's garments use a combination of emulsion screen-printing as well as embroidery. She has always been interested in illustration and fashion textiles and believes she can use her talent to make an impact on society, however large or small.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The garments that an individual wears is a reflection of themselves, whether they are conscious of it or not. I want to push the boundaries of my consumer outside their comfort zone. It's about the silent language that is spoken without words."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Box Hill Institute Bachelor of Fashion alumna has taken the global fashion industry by storm.</p>
<p>Winner of the 2017 Student Designer Award at Melbourne Fashion Week and of the world's largest sustainable fashion design competition, the international Redress Design Award in 2018, Tess launched her own label during Melbourne Fashion Week in September 2019 &ndash; Pendulum Studios.</p>
<p>Pendulum Studio garments adhere to Tess' zero-waste design philosophy and she is keen to promote sustainable design theories and techniques to influence the global fashion industry.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I feel it's a real expression of my own individual style and embodies the idea that being a total badass and a good person aren't mutually exclusive."</p>
</blockquote>
