Azzurra Zappacosta (2024) Wins Dual Honours at VIVID Emerging Designer Awards 

We are proud to celebrate the success of Old Girl, Azzurra Zappacosta (2024), who was recognised at the 2025 VIVID Emerging Designer Awards with both the Dulux Award for Colour and the Concept Design Award. Her innovative UV-reactive drink bottle, which changes from white to navy blue in sunlight, helps users monitor UV exposure and promotes sun safety. 

Azzurra’s design was developed as part of her IB Diploma Design Technology HL studies and stood out among more than 60 finalists. She also received the Excellence in Academic Achievement award for Design Technology HL, served as Whitley House Vice-Captain, Hockey Captain, and earned Gold in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. 

We congratulate Azzurra on her outstanding achievement and look forward to seeing her continue to shine.
