LCF students reach 'World of Wearable Art' finals

Hana Amer, BA (Hons) Costume for Performance, Suzi Battersby, BA (Hons) 3D Effects for Performance and Fashion and Scout Isensee, BA (Hons) Costume for Performance, will all receive a travel grant from LCF to visit New Zealand for the awards, as well as being given an exclusive, backstage tour of the world famous WETA Workshop, where visual effects for films such as Lord of the Rings and Elysium have been created.

Working to a brief to create costumes for strange and surreal characters who meet in a world without time, the selection panel were impressed with the students’ very high standard of work, interesting concepts and clever use of materials.

They will be competing against 155 other international designers – from countries including India, France, China, Canada, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States – for 39 prizes worth $165,000.
