Esther Chung, Kevin Kerr and Emily Stockwell – congratulations on being selected as our three finalists!
We were fortunate this year to have a larger pool of applicants from cities across the country. But to our ultimate glee, all three finalists are local designers. All the applicants had to submit images of their recent work and share with us their ideas on ways the fashion industry could do a better job of preserving the environment. Maybe we’re biased but only the most exceptional designers are challenging themselves to create compelling fashion design while consciously considering how to minimize their environmental impact.
Just last week each of our finalists were given a box full of product to re-purpose in designing their own four piece collection. December 3rd we will have an unveiling ceremony and announce the winner in our storefront. Only one winner will receive the $1000 grand prize and have his/her designs featured for sale on our website in December. We can’t wait to see what they come up with!
Friend us on Facebook for continuous updates on the collection unveiling event December 3rd.
