Saving the best till last was Georgia Nash.

Her designs inspired by ‘The Nutcracker‘featured a very personal selection of couture garments that were both innovative and diverse.

The sign of a great design is when the models genuinely love the outfits they were wearing.

“If she, Georgia Nash can keep this level of creativity going she will undoubtedly reach the top” said a FLYER Newspaper reporter.

Georgie Nash’s attention to detail stood out from the crowd.
