JAEHA as BEST BREAKTHROUGH FASHION DESIGNER:
"Jaeha obviously appreciates our city’s fickle climate, having debuted straight from AUT with sexy yet practical raincoats that were promptly snapped up by buyers from drizzly Melbourne. The 21-year-old's follow-up, a full collection at this year’s fashion week of draped knits and lavish gowns, cemented his hip-young-thing status."
and
for BEST HANDBAGS: DEADLY PONIES
"Local duo Katie Smith and Liam Bowden twist butter-soft leather and squidgy suede into beautiful bags trimmed with attitude, such as a scarf printed with a skeleton hand or a brass bone on a chain. Great names too - Mr Flopalopagus, Mr Foldabackabit and Mr Stuffi'n'Tye."
