Top Designs will return to Melbourne Museum from Saturday 29 March to 20 July 2025 as part of the VCE Season of Excellence.

Now in its 25th year, Top Designs showcases the young future designers of Victoria. Explore the research, experimentation and development of 77 imaginative works across 9 design studies.

The exhibitor Catrin is lying down and wears a white t-shirt with her hand-drawn design “Protect Your Piece”, amongst her many other t-shirt designs folded around her on a white background. She had long blonde hair, wears gold jewellery, and her hands are positioned together in a yoga prayer pose replicating one of her designs.

Top Designs 2025 exhibitors interrogate the changing world around them to propose innovative possibilities in sustainability, place, community, automation and craftsmanship.
