<p>Raph Roake represents one of many young talents in the design community who have won accolades at the 2018 Best Awards. His work, ‘C.O.C.A Exposure Brand Identity and Website’ created alongside fellow students – Luke Hoban and Jeremy Hooper – was awarded two golden pins for student graphic and student interactive. And his solo project, ‘All design is a political act’, gained a silver in student graphic. Since these projects, Roake has stepped inside a few studios – Strategy Creative in Wellington and Inhouse in Auckland – and continues to craft his personal work during his spare time. Roake joins us over a measly cup of coffee to hear about the tensions and learnings from his transition into studio walls.</p>

So what does that mean for the fashion industry – and New Zealand Fashion Week? And what can designers do to keep their ranges – and shows – relevant? </p>
