Qantas Soya
Fashion Award

Fashion - the first category for SOYA 365- has closed and been judged and what an amazing selection of entries we had. Congratulations to all our entrants. The quality and level of sophistication of many of the submissions was absolutely outstanding. Winner, Michael Lo Sordo will accelerate his Fashion career even further with the combined package of cash, London Fashion Week trip and Zimmermann mentorship, while the pool of entrants are still eligible to win $5k cash and $5k in flights in the People's Choice, which will be voted by the general public and will be the focus of SOYA 365 toward the end of 2012.

Watch this space for news of when Fashion will re-open for next year's SOYA 365 round, and keep an eye on our social media channels for the inside stories!

"We were looking for people on their own path artistically and creatively, and with what they're doing in fashion."

"SOYA provides practical financial support to young creatives but also the mentorship program is really worthwhile. It's not easy starting out as a young fashion designer, regardless of talent."
