Through an exclusive partnership with Hermès South Asia, more than 150 students from Higher Nitec in Visual Merchandising were challenged to bring the competition theme, "When the Ocean Calls, Adventure Follows", to life through captivating window displays that blended storytelling, artistry and innovation.
We were honoured to welcome Mr Thierry Outin, Regional Managing Director of Hermès South Asia, and Mr Damien Ordines, Regional Operations Director of Hermès South Asia, to ITE College Central as they viewed the four finalist window displays created by our students.
The students shared the stories behind their designs, the ideas that shaped their creative concepts, and the journey of transforming their visions into immersive visual experiences. Through this collaboration with Hermès, they had the opportunity to push creative boundaries while gaining invaluable insights.
More than just a competition, this partnership bridges classroom learning with industry excellence, empowering students to create with confidence, purpose and innovation while gaining exposure to the standards of a globally renowned luxury brand.
Congratulations to the two winning students, Elissa Qaisara Binte Shamsul and Too Kai Yan, who have been awarded an exclusive visit to the new Hermès Bangkok Flagship Store, where they will experience the world of luxury retail and visual merchandising first-hand. This remarkable opportunity recognises their talent and celebrates the promise of Singapore's next generation of creative professionals.
