Drum roll, please.

Few things excite us more than emerging designer talent.

Each year we’re lucky enough to be privy to some of the nation’s top student designers as part of Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival’s National Graduate Showcase.

Presented by Target and supported by Fashion Journal, the NGS celebrates the next generation of Australian design talent. It also happens to be one of the best showcases at VAMFF, but we might be a little biased.

Without further ado, here are your finalists for 2018. Take note of these names, you’re about to see them everywhere.
