AWARD UPDATE 10/8/09:

We received such a high calibre of entries for the Jeanswest International Fashion Award, something the Australian and New Zealand fashion industries should be very proud of.

The entries were sent to Hong Kong to be judged as part of the global process and we're excited to announce Ran (Chris) Lin as our 2009 finalist heading off to Hong Kong to represent Jeanswest Australia in the semi finals. Ran is currently studying at RMIT Melbourne.
