Church & State at Gen Art Styles International Design Competition 2006
Gen Art, the future farmer of fashion, has announced an international open call to established and emerging designers for their Styles International Design Competition and Runway Show. Portland’s Church & State were finalists in 06, selected from an international field of hundreds of designers.
This year again, finalists will be selected by a committee of editors, buyers and stylists. The key for designers is that the 25 finalists show in on the runway in NYC on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 where a panel of “celebrity fashion judges” choose five winners for the $5,000 prizes. Caveat designer: Nathaniel Crissman and Rachel Turk of Church & State were only permitted to show two pieces…an abbreviated chance to state your case. However, when being a finalist puts one in their company, as well as the company of Rodarte, Sari Gueron, and Cloak, one realizes the potential benefits of ex-po-sure.
You can download the application and get more information about the competition here. The deadline for entry has apparently been extended to Friday, March 30.
