TOI Competition 2024

The 2024 TOI wearable art competition was an exciting event where students were able to showcase their creations at the live Showquest event at the Aotea Centre on the 12th of June.

The Northcross Intermediate Toi group consisted of 26 designers and 14 garments. Northcross had an array of designs across five categories: Stories of the South Pacific; Myths, Legends and Fantastic Creatures; Larger than Life; Year 3024 and Open. The designers pulled out all the stops and WOW-ed the judges this year.
