Whitehouse attended several shows at MBFWA yesterday. It is always brilliant to be able to see the commercial minds of the emerging talent at the New Generation shows.

There was much love in the air with the Whitehouse staff attending MBFWA yesterday to see the show of graduate Lyna Ty and business partner Melvin Tanaya. It was the first showing of SONG FOR THE MUTE at their first Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week. They have a directional approach to men’s wear that challenges traditional male silhouettes and the classic nature of outer wear. CONGRATULATIONS on a extremely impressive show that housed Kirsty Clements (Vogue Editor-in-Chief) in the front row.

Whitehouse was delighted to get its perfect fashion fix for breakfast amongst the 80′s floral and asian inspired silhouettes at the Zimmerman show yesterday. It is always a pleasure to see our graduates attending the shows that decorate the shoulders of so many of our students.

Whitehouse Institute of Design Australia was invited to have a juror on the comity that judged the 2012 Art of Fashion Foundation Competition. One of the winners in 2011 was Whitehouse graduate Lisa Barbarro. And this year Ryan Samways and Saskia Baur-Schmidt have made it through the second round.

Whitehouse associates and graduates attended the Saxony show last night at Sydney’s Australia Technology Park. The raw industrial space coincided with the emotive grunge of the androgynous men’s and womens’s collections. Whitehouse graduates Giuseppe D’Amore (Ultimate Creative Agencies), Stacey Isaac (Isaac Vivier) and Rodney Watt (Whitehouse Institute of Design, Australia) were some of the many stylish guests that attend the event.
