Lycra Has It Student Fashion Awards activewear design runner up Sue McArthur.
Should designer Karl Lagerfeld throw a pool party, he really should get in touch with Sue McArthur. She has just the thing for him to wear.
The Bay of Plenty Polytechnic fashion student has just won this year's Lycra Has It Student Fashion Awards with a witty Chanel-inspired two-piece calledKarl's Pool Party in honour of the Chanel designer.
The outfit first won the menswear section before being judged the supreme winner.
The judges were RJC designer Claire Kingan-Jones, television reporter Nickie Omer and Viva editor Fiona Hawtin.
McArthur was also runner-up in the activewear category where she turned Chanel's classic suit into houndstooth running gear, complete with pearls and camellia. Well, the theme for the country's fashion students - who had to use lycra in their garments - at this year's 25th awards was "come to the party".
Activewear winner Ana Walsh did clever things with lycra by coming up with a sexy red and black version of a motocross outfit for those who want to ride a bike, then party afterwards.
