One of the most exciting and positive things about the Fashion Exposed fair is a program called 'Debut'. All about unearthing and nurturing upcoming designer talent, Debut has helped many young designers break into the competitive playing field that is the fashion industry. At the Sydney fair this year (which runs from March 8-10, 2009) there are 12 finalists for Debut, falling under the two categories of Apparel and Accessories.
One of the finalists in the Accessories category is emerging label
Lost Not Lonely (pictured above). Detailed and unique, this collection was inspired by dust, diesel and dirty trucks; a homage to the designer's upbringing around a family-run trucking business in small town New
Lost Not Lonely and all the other Debut finalists will have their designs presented in a special runway show, which will take place on the first day of the Fashion Exposed fair. A panel of industry experts will select winners from each category, with the prizes aimed at assisting the winners with launching their labels. The Debut parade will undoubtedly bring our attention to more upcoming talent, so stay tuned for further coverage and details of the winners!
