UTS fashion & textiles graduate Courtney White has been awarded first prize in the men’s wear category at the 2012 Australian Wool Fashion Awards.

Looking to the Russian Revolution of 1917 for inspiration, Courtney’s collection employed bloody hues of burgundy, wine and crimson and imposing military/industrial shapes. Courtney was also one of twelve students selected nationally to be part of the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival Graduate Showcase, held in March 2012.
