This photo shoot with emma was precious. We had such a blast and she was so entertaining... I had to go home and take a nap afterwards.

2010 Pret-a-Porter IIDA Competition

The competition is called "Pret-a-Porter" which means "ready to wear" and is a competition for Students (like us) and Interior Design professionals. We were to design and create a "ready to wear" outfit or gown that is entirely made out of interior design materials. As a team, we were sponsored by an Interior Design manufacturer,  MAHARAM (maharam.com), which is upholstery fabric and wallpaper. We created a design, found the right fabrics and sewed our dress together.

 

Our team was awarded 1st place for the Student Competition, competing against 3 other schools in Colorado including Colorado State University, Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, and the Art Institute of Colorado.

 

Also, never happening before, our team won Best in Show, while competing alongside over 25 professional design firms. 

 

Here is our concept drawing we had ready to turn in before we started the dress.
