On Friday 18 August the Year 12 Fashion Design and Sewing students combined to visit the Fashion studios at TAFE. It was inspiring to see the next step in a Fashion student’s education, and the delightful staff and students at NorthMetro, in the city, were fantastic hosts.

We visited the digital design studios, the sewing rooms and the saw the first-year students working on their textiles collection. Two third year (Advance Diploma) students chatted to us about their final collection and detailed all the different stages which go through to be runway ready.

After lunch we took in the collection at Museum Boola Bardip. Thankfully the trip home did not repeat the stop-start bus journey that was our morning commute.
