In Fall 2012, I was lucky enough to be selected from other students at my school to participate in the Creativ Festival's Creativ Catwalk Challenge. Teams of three from various fashion colleges in Southern Ontario competed over one weekend to design a gown, working with a budget and limited to the supplies they could buy at on the show floor. The theme for the garments was Silver Anniversary Celebration.
After a very busy and hard-working weekend, the George Brown team won first place!
Our gown was draped and drafted by ourselves, using black synthetic taffeta and silver slinky knit. The train uses 5 metres of fabric! It was embellished using foiling, hand beading, and heat-bonded Swarovski crystals. The hat was also created using matching self of the dress and all the feathers and beads we could find!
