A further accolade was being one of two Elizabeth Galloway finalists out of 240 candidates in S.A for the Vodacom 4 U competition. The theme was denim deconstruction which required Thilana to make a new garment out of old jeans. This idea was a start of a new love and since then exclusive pieces have been created from pre-loved jeans. This process is a very thoughtful one in which Thilana makes sure all the pattern pieces fit in to one or two vintage pairs of jeans ensuring the shades work together and that the final product mirrors the same quality as any new garment which is rather challenging.
