12 Design students customised a mystery item and competed for the 4th Street takeover winning title, in pure Project Runway fashion. “I’m so excited to be part of an event that combines two of my favourite things, fashion and 4th STREET Wine.

Dè-Mari Shaw, 4th STREET Brand Strategy Manager says, “4th STREET drinkers are  fashionable and influential. This is why it made sense for us to partner with Project Runway. With this sponsorship, 4th STREET, the easy-drinking wine, connects high street to our street, making the runway more accessible to this urban chic set.
