The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation – buyers, fashion editors, fellow designers and the style savvy alike were all waiting to discover Central TAFE’s next big thing.
Jaime Lee Major and Kiel Rogers both won the X-Press Fashion Emerging Talent Award 2008, the two were a tie as the award is usually only ever offered to one designer per year. This gives them celebrated coverage in the 40,000 copy circulated weekly, a half page feature on each of them and their designs and will be printed in the 11th December edition. X-Press editors rightly rewarded the palpable, tireless hours Rogers spent creating his bizarre, awe inspiring designs and Major for her obvious talent and individuality. Kiel Rogers also modelled for best friend Major and the two shared the limelight as two of the designers to watch from this years graduating class – Central TAFE’s next big thing(s).

SV was the first to ever shoot August (see Dilettante and Zekka new collections showing @ 1907 post) after Scott at Zekka discovered him, now he is a full-blown model and in my opinion a budding super.
