Reimagined Fashion 2025 Winners Announced
Congratulations to the two winners of this year’s Reimagined Fashion competition - Hannah Brain and Tammy Davies
Hannah is studying at Cardiff Metropolitan University, and her design uses pre-loved blouses and a dress. Tammy is a student at Carmarthen School of Art and she decided to use a pre-loved duvet cover and curtains in her design.
Repurposed textiles
All materials used in the Fashion Reimagined competition are recycled and use repurposed textiles that have fulfilled their original purpose. The design brief was to create a couture outfit made from pre-loved textiles on the theme of ‘Stripe A Pose’.
As well as being named the winners of this year’s competition, the pair are taking home a £50 gift voucher for spending at a Cancer Research Wales shop.
Sustainable fashion ambassadors
Hannah and Tammy are now also sustainable fashion ambassadors for Cancer Research Wales. They’ll be making their designs in time for the graduate show at the Cardiff School of Art & Design from 13 to 20 June.
The competition was judged by Claire Bish – our events officer, Huw ‘Fash’ Rees who’s the fashion presenter from the TV programme Prynhawn Da, and Jess Renault – owner of the Déjà Vu pre-loved clothing boutique in Cardiff’s trendy Pontcanna area and last year’s Fashion Reimagined winner – Lou Wild.
High standard of entries
Commenting on the announcement, Claire Bish said:
“The judges were very impressed by the overall standard of the entries for this year’s Fashion Reimagined competition, but two designs stood out. Hannah’s entry showed an impressive follow through to construction of garments. Also, there was very creative use of garments and very little waste, so great on sustainability and the most sustainable design which showed creative use of pre-loved items and good interpretation of the design brief.
“Tammy’s design stood out as a as great smart, casual two-piece. We were impressed by the complimentary use of stitching on top to match the fabric used on trouser. There was really successful use of the textiles and it was an achievable design with an excellent design board.”
