Fleece to Fashion Fostership

In honour of our founder Liz Foster, we are thrilled to announce the inaugural Fleece to Fashion Fostership 2024.

A $5,000 cash prize to be awarded to a regional student entering their first year or already enrolled in a recognised tertiary institute. The Fostership will go to a student who, without this award, would find it challenging to take up their place due to financial circumstances.

Akira Isogawa Mentorship

Each year, legendary designer Akira Isogawa selects one young design talent from the Fleece to Fashion Awards to join him in his studio as a mentee and design protege. Working with Akira, recipients explore new design techniques that stretch their imagination and skill set to create couture pieces that elevate fashion to art.

Please note: This mentorship takes place in Sydney and will be managed between Akira and his selected mentee so may differ from year to year.
