Winner of My It Things, “IT” Designer Contest
Wakana Koike was the winning designer of the “IT” Designer contest held by Yuli Ziv of My It Things. The final round of judging was Oct 15th. The 3 finalists of the contest took their designs to the runway to try to win the $5000 grand prize. Modarling and I had the great pleasure of attending the event held in NYC. I love what our friend Jean V. Pratt, Style Observer, had to say about the evening.
“I always have high hopes when I go to see new designers, and this event did not disappoint. I think everyone in the style and fashion industry loves to see a new, fresh approach to fashion. The beauty is that the younger designers still believe in the craft, and haven’t sold out yet. Their designs are based on their creativity and vision, and not necessarily on pleasing the mainstream. Honestly, I’m so tired of mainstream. I want more creativity, and originality in designs.” read more…
