   Jessica Cervonaro (stage two) received a mentorship with David Lawrence, and Rachel Zuch (stage one) was awarded the Marcs award.
   In the audience were Dion Lee, Nicky Zimmermann, Luke Sales, Konstantina Mittas, Clare Press and Josh Flinn (Australia’s Next Top Model).
   The Fashion Design Institute’s alumni include Alex Perry, Nicky Zimmermann, Akira, Lisa Ho and Dion Lee.
