A former Western Heights High School student is set to catch the eye of the New Zealand fashion industry.
Ashleigh Price has scored the "best opportunity possible" showcasing her fashion design on the catwalk at this year's New Zealand Fashion Week.
Ashleigh is in the final year of her fashion diploma at New Zealand Fashion Tech and was offered the chance to showcase her work as part of a new education project.
The project began when New Zealand Fashion Tech owners Kevin Smith and Val Marshall-Smith teamed up with educators Giles Brooker and Prabha Govindasamy to create the unique New Zealand-India fashion education collaboration.
Fifty silk saris inspired by paint colours from Resene were selected and 45 students from New Zealand Fashion Tech were asked to design and make a contemporary-chic fashion look from the delicate hand-woven silks.
