The competition has been reinvigorated to incorporate an overarching theme,
that allows designers to be as creativity and innovative as possible,

With a 60% minimum, we encourage designers to incorporate
as much wool into their outfit as possible.

Awards at Sheepvention Rural Expo in 2019.
The second year RMIT Brunswick fashion
textile student won the prestigious award
with her pure Merino wool jacket-dress set.
Feng said her winning entry was inspired
by the plumage of a fairy wren, with the
garment’s blue hand-embroidered facing
reflecting a male bird’s blue tail in winter.
“I discovered in the winter time the male
fairy wren lose their bright blue feathers and
only have a blue tail, so I thought that is the
perfect colour for a winter collection.”
Feng said she loved the texture of Merino
wool and chose to give her garment a loose

“I patterned that garment, cut the fabric
and sewed it all by myself, so it is a pretty
independent project to do and to present as
a different kind of visual art.”
