Designer Bios...

Victoria Bliss

@vblissdesigns

Victoria Bliss is a Melbourne based designer who strives to produce quality,

minimalistic, neutral designs with classic fits and modern silhouettes. Victoria’s work

explores the innovations that come about through the opposition and bricolage of

both European and Australian fashion cultures, drawing strongly upon upbringing,

endeavouring to create pieces that celebrate the diverse landscapes she’s lived in.

Combining high-end design and construction with an ethos of sustainability and ethical

production, Victoria Bliss aims to empower women through their clothing. Focussing

specifically on form and function, Victoria Bliss’ garments are an exploration of

structure and free form in relation to the body. Through the use of tailoring and drape,

there is a focus on how the garment fits, sits and is anchored to the body.

Grace Alateras

@madebygrace__

Grace’s fashion practice specialises in menswear with a particular emphasis on the concept of branding. In her work, the “logo” is disseminated through finishes, fastenings, accent colours, text and styling. The fusion of sportswear and traditional tailoring is fundamental to her design development and is used to reconceptualise modern streetwear. She is greatly inspired by digital culture and the way in which youth interact with commercial brand's; expressing themselves through dress. Construction, considered detailing, textured fabrications and a high level of finish are integral to Grace’s design outcomes.

Madeleine Sinco

@madeleinesinco

Madeleine has always had an appreciation for art and design especially when teamed to compliment each other, which she has been determined to pursue from a young age. Through her studies and industry experience, she has developed an understanding of how to apply and combine her design passion with a holistic mentality resulting in well-considered outcome. Madeleine maintains her integrity as a designer through drawing on emotions and memory as inspiration for her experience based design. With a contemporary and dissident approach, her ideas are realized with a level of attention to detail and respect for her craft.

Alinda Tralongo

@blankdesigns

Melbourne based designer, Alinda Tralongo looks into the internal structures of garment archetypes, as well as the embellished exterior surface of cloth. Fascinated by the way of dress and a garment's antecedent, layering techniques and exposing the figure within the clothes is an aspect Alinda plays on in the designs. Through creating a unique equilibrium between a research and a making based practice, her garments are stamped with a strong design identity. Construction, embellishment, quality finishing techniques and layering of fabrications are a prominent part of Alinda's design practice.

Katie Barter

Katie’s practice is aimed at expressing conceptual and tangible outcomes. While testing alternative process which maintain a wear-ability within garments and accessories. Exploring the relationship and balance between the body and cloth is an underlying consideration in each collection. Testing the suspense and contact of fabrications against the form, while using it to orientate considered cuts, bringing the body into the design.Each project establishes new expressions within materials and processes, which are balanced with clean lines and aesthetics. Aiming to create garments with new spatial and tactile experiences, that provoke new considerations around clothing and the body.

Where to from here...

This event serves as a creative platform through which we can launch ourselves into the fashion industry. We believe it is crucial to engage with members of industry, the public and like minded creatives to continue to grow our practices beyond university.
