Watch out for these hot young kids! They’re AIFFNY finalists & I thought there discovery, whilst on the judging panel for 2011, was definitely worth sharing. The Australians in New York Fashion Foundation was established to create amazing opportunities, through internships and connecting young Australians with valuable work experience in NYC’s fashion industry. The prize: The Foundation provides the winner with a visa to work in their chosen field, a financial grant and a return ticket to NYC!
