Today we reveal the emerging designer ‘Faces to Watch’ as selected by Pip Edwards and Claire Tregoning, co-founders of P.E Nation.
”P.E Nation is a reflection of Pip and Claire’s busy lifestyles and the need for multi-faceted activewear. This gap in the market is what led two friends with an impressive history in fashion to create P.E Nation. Their design and business pedigree together with a clear vision for the brand, has seen them create covetable and adaptable activewear that is quickly attracting a global cult following.”
Lucky for us, Pip and Claire were more than happy to scan their cool-af radar over this year’s Flaunter Emerging graduate collections. Their picks are a clear reflection of their own aesthetic – fashion-forward & retro, with a little of their signature tomboy attitude thrown in for good measure…
2 VOTES TO LISA LIU – UTS
“Hands down the ultimate winner – from design and concept, to creative, from the execution of the shoot, to the colour palette, the play on proportion, the styling, the vibe, the casting, the location and the use of the parachute is genius in terms of fabrication, design and playing to that sport-feel that we LOVE LOVE LOVE. We don’t feel there is another winner this year. She is the standout student by a mile. She is the future.”
