And The Winners Are…
I told you I would keep you posted and here they are…
The winners from the casting call put on Jack + Bill PR, a pop-up agency within global public relations firm Porter Novelli, held a couple of weeks ago.
- Jewelry: DANNIJO, a modern jewelry line created by sisters Danielle and Jodie Snyder, exudes classic sophistication with a touch of rock n’ roll. Using varied materials – silver, gold, gunmetal, and brass—and colorful elements—drusy quartz, crystals, amethyst, turquoise, sharks teeth and pearls – their statement jewelry often creates a collage-like effect.
- Women’s Apparel: AIRA, a modern women’s collection designed by sisters Karen and Annie Lin, inspired by air, nature and the constant change of season.
- Model: Christopher Fawcett, a former Navy serviceman from Denver, with a recognizable fresh face and boyish charm.
- Wild Card: Badgley/Sneed Designs, a new collection of one-of-a-kind, sophisticated jewelry created by Lynne Badgley and Jan Sneed, is made of genuine stones and cultured freshwater pearls combined with primarily 14K or 18K gold findings.
- Fashion Stylist: Kalyn Johnson, a lawyer turned fashion stylist with a chic sensibility and unique flair for helping everyday professionals look their best.
“We were impressed and inspired by the caliber of talent who attended the casting call,” said Erin Crumpacker, spokesperson for Jack + Bill. “We met innovative, creative designers, stylists and models who are certainly ahead of the fashion curve. Although it was difficult to finalize our new client roster, we’re excited to introduce these standouts to the industry.”
The competition was stiff with 150 designers showing up for the casting call that took place over 2 days July 15th and 16th. We will keep following the progress of these five lucky winners. Model Christopher Fawcett took part in National Underwear Day. Talk about a way to launch a career. This lead to him being featured in New York Magazine’s coverage of the event.
