RMIT Student Prize Winner 2011: Anisha Bhoyro
Congratulations to RMIT fashion student, Anisha Bhoyro who won the 2011 RMIT Student Prize as part of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week (MSFW) Spotlight Emerging Designer Series.
The MSFW Emerging Designer exhibition is the first major public exhibition for the talented young Melbourne designer, who has been making and experimenting with clothes from an early age.
Bhoyro designed her collection, Precious Threads with the polarisation of the fashion world in mind. Her garments are based on the concept of reviving old-world values in order to impede the all too common notion of ‘fast-fashion’, and the disposable nature of the industry.
“I have developed a new system of garment cutting and construction based on manipulations of yarns within cloth. The resulting garments are intricate, precious pieces which oppose the throw away mentality of fast fashion,” said Bhoyro.
Her creations are carefully constructed to deliver a unique and elaborate aesthetic, of which demand closer inspection in order to discover the, “intelligent, refined and understated luxury.”
Influenced by film photographer Rodney Smith, and inspired by the elegance of certain people in her life, Bhoyro hopes her unique designs will not be compromised by the mainstream disposition of the fashion industry, in the future.
“In three years I hope to still be learning, designing, creating and perfecting my craft. I hope that I will not fall into a position where the commercial side of the fashion industry overtakes my design passion,” said Bhoyro.
Bhoyro won the prestigious award after presenting her collection at the launch of the MSFW Spotlight Emerging Designers Exhibition, at 1000 Pound Bend in Melbourne on Monday 29 August. The prize includes an all expenses paid trip to Milan where she will undertake an internship with a renowned fashion house of her choice, before returning to MSFW next year to fulfill her duties as the 2012 RMIT Student Ambassador.
