YEP winners for each retailer often go on to have their collections produced and sold in store.
What: Dancers from Jason Coleman’s “Ministry of Dance” performing in student fashion designs for Target, Country Road and Sportsgirl.
When: Monday, 4 October, 6pm to 8.30pm
Where: Jason Coleman’s “Ministry of Dance”, Level 1, 64 Sutton Street, North Melbourne.
