RENEE AUGUST:
23-year old Renee Avgoustinos launched RENEE AUGUST last year based on the design philosophy of “simple ideas expressed strongly through the inspiration from a magnificent piece of fabric.”

Feminine and sophisticated looks dominate the label, as Avgoustinos exhibit her mastery of draping techniques with the flowing silhouettes.

A budding colorist, Avgoustinos also opt for a mixture of prints and color blocks ranging from pastels to the bold primaries.

With a touch of the mystic of the modern Maori princess, there is also a certain wildness in the collection, giving it a fashion edge.
