Hupfeld Hoerder is a name many associate with fashion firsts and innovation in this country and news of another huge opportunity announced last week wasn’t a surprise to the industry.
Now soon to be Fiji’s first ever recipient of a scholarship to conduct doctoral studies in fashion, he will someday go by Dr Hoeder.
Announcing the news to the industry last week, Fiji Fashion Week (FJFW) managing director Ellen Whippy-Knight was elated. “Finally, we can announce this great great news.
Hupfeld Hoerder has won a scholarship to study at the Western Sydney University towards a PhD in fashion in Fiji,” Ms Whippy-Knight said.
