Georgia Havekotte

Georgia is the wonderful face of Beautiful Silks video products. Georgia is a talented designer completing her final year of a fashion degree at RMIT. Georgia is also our resident dyer from time to time. This is a quote from Georgia... For my last semester I was accepted into a scholarship paid exchange program to Amsterdam Fashion Institute. While in Amsterdam, I won the opportunity to see my denim designs be produced and sold throughout Europe by a major fashion retailer. Prior to this, I studied Studio Textiles and Design at RMIT in 2006, where I specialised in Design (including Computer Aided Design) Screen Print, Machine Knitting and Weaving. Management comment....Georgia is looking for outstanding opportunities that challenge her well proven abilities...she's a talent to watch and we look forward to following her career developments.
