Merit Encourages Young New Design Talent

In its quest to keep designs new and innovative, Merit Promotional Clothing has worked with Colchester School of Art and Design on a project in which students on the Fashion and Textiles BA Hons course could enter a competition that would provide them with some work experience in an industry that is key to their course.

The idea then snowballed when Merit client TIGI, a major haircare brand, became involved. The final brief was for each student to create 2 T-shirt designs. The first design for Merit – the second design for TIGI.

Joanna Ling won the prize for designing the Merit T-shirt and she has continued to do regular work for Merit.

The winner of the best T-shirt for TIGI, judged by TIGI, was Jessica Haley (pictured) who will see the T-shirts manufactured for TIGI as part of their 2007 range and receive a cash or product based prize.
