Hi Huneybees,
Singapore's Haziq Putra wins one of the top three spots and takes the Audi Young Designer Award; the other two top spots go to China's Sun Yi Jin and Vu Ta Linh from Vietnam.
After a whole day of judging, deliberations and a final runway showdown, it was Singapore’s star that shone at Audi Star Creation.
Temasek Polytechnic Apparel Design and Merchandising student Haziq Putra’s ‘Pursuit to Freedom’ took one of the competition’s top three spots, winning S$10,000, a one-year internship with leading fashion retailer F J Benjamin and the chance to launch his maiden capsule collection at Audi Star Creation 2014.
The 21-year-old also won the Audi Young Designer Award (AYDA), an additional S$10,000 cash prize. The AYDA is given to the winner whose creation best embodies the Audi design spirit of innovation, technology and progression.
Bagging the third and final spot was 24 year old Sun Yi Jin from China, whose womenswear
collection drew on the Chinese costumes and handcrafting techniques of the 56 ethnic groups, some
of! which have been lost over time.
The winning collections will return to the runway at the Tent@Marina Promenade at the Audi Star Creation Capsule Showcase on May 17 at 5pm. At the event, which will be attended by industry players, fashion experts and their peers, winners of Audi Star Creation 2012 will also launch their maiden capsule collections, which they have been developing over the last year.
The call for entries for Audi Star Creation 2014 will go out in November. The deadline for submissions is January 31, 2014.

Haziq’s menswear collection featured hand-dyed batik, from which he created a digital print. He also incorporated two distinct Kelantan icons – the Wau Bulan, a giant kite flown by its men, and the ikan pari, or stingray.
Vietnam’s Vu Ta Linh, 26, also won the judges over with ‘The Contour’, a womenswear collection that used stitching, weaving and embroidery to capture the curves and waves of a Vietnamese heritage icon – the Ruong Bac Thang rice terraces in Sapa. Linh graduated from Hanoi London College of Fashion Studies in July 2012.
