Judges Rita Silvan, editor-in-chief of ELLE CANADA, Joeffer Caoc, designer for Misura by Joeffer Caoc, Debra Anissimoff, owner of Zola Shoes, and Chazz Balkwell, co-founder of WOMAN Cosmetics, reviewed applications from across the country in search of the final four; Canada’s most promising rising design stars. "The duo of Elizabeth Consiglio and John Paul Guarraci at Hyphen showed clothes that were full of good humour for their Tramp collection. Their confident use of colour and playful peacock motif gave their collection a quirky charm," says Rita Silvan. The judges deliberated over the 3-month evaluation process and based their final decision on the innovation, quality, fit, and marketability of the designers’ collections. “This fresh new design team, in their premiere collection, showed no shortage of original ideas. I have a feeling that we’ve just seen the beginning of their creative talent, “ remarked Debra Anissomoff.
