A Sunshine West student will have her creation showcased at this year’s Top Designs exhibition at Melbourne Museum.
Marian College student Ananya Saini’s ‘5-in-1 Denim Duo’ is among the works from 77 students that will be on display at the museum from March 29- July 20.
The exhibition, in partnership with the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority, celebrates Victoria’s next generation of designers, featuring student works that re-imagine innovative, renewable and inclusive futures.
Expert panels from nine subjects selected the works included in the exhibition. Each work highlights the unique and creative ways students have approached and interpreted the assessment criteria.
Visitors with a passion for design will have the opportunity to investigate the critical thought processes and creative strategies behind each work through a range of protypes, material tests and folio documentation on display.
Ananya said her ‘5-in-1 Denim Duo’ aims to tackle the problem of fast fashion by emphasising sustainability and versatility.
“Fast fashion has become a significant global issue, leading to environmental degradation and excessive waste,” she said.
“Made from recycled denim, it features a reversible skirt and top, along with a skirt that has detachable lengths and a convertible bag with two sizes.
“Designed for young adults, this outfit combines style with functionality, allowing for multiple looks from a single piece. This approach encourages less consumption and helps reduce textile waste.”
Museums Victoria acting chief executive and director Sean Royal said Top Designs is an “exceptional showcase” of student work.
