Yip, and another LISOF student takes the cake at the ”Elle New Talent competition”.
This year, 2007, Elle new talent competitions theme, was the “Future”. With tons of applicants submitting storyboards and sketches, who would have fathomed that once again a LISOF student would take the cake! Only last year, one of my good friends won it, Mr Tony Mestre and if anyone was deserving of it, it was him.
So this year the pressure was on, having seen the finalists sketches, I do believe the best person won, Tiaan Nagel.
I went through my LISOF years with Tiaan and I can honestly say he is really good at what he does. Coming from a strong afrikaans influence, which is clear in his designs and currently working for Marion and Lindie, he is honestly a force to be reckoned with.
Here is one of my favourite garments from his 2007 collection below. Definitely keep an eye on him for the future!
