“I was shocked to be nominated for three awards and feel very blessed to have managed to win one of the Graduate Fashion Week awards. The judging panel had a very difficult job with so many talented people attending the competition.

“I am just grateful for a chance to exhibit my work as it marked the beginning of my career and solidified my confidence in the body of work I produced titled, ‘A New Protagonist.”
