The Canberra-based boxing apparel debuted on the Fashfest catwalk in 2015, with bright, bold patterns that packed a serious punch.
This year, one of their new prints is the creation of UC graphic design student Elizabeth Misson.
The 26-year-old was offered an internship with the label after doing work for them as part of a university subject.
Despite confessing she's "not really a fashion person", Misson got to work on new prints for the new range.
"We noticed that a lot of designs out there in homewares and clothing, there were quite a lot of tropical prints coming in, and quite a lot of fruit designs," Misson said.
Following the same vein, she started working on a pattern using pears but that attempt, somewhat fittingly, went pear-shaped.
But she found herself a winner using pineapples, and the final design has been printed on apparel and will be revealed on the catwalk.
"I'm still in a bit of shock that my work's actually going to be displayed for quite a lot of people to see," she said.
Red Corner Boxing will hit the catwalk in the second show on Thursday, which is night one of the three-day event. Tickets are on sale at fashfest.com.au.
