Designers Needed for Hope in the City 2010 (fashion show)



We are so happy to be planning HOPE in the CITY 3: Wear your Story.

Hope in the City is a fashion event hosted by Mosaic-LA. Creatives within the fashion industry have come together to bring hope to Los Angeles! Hope in the City 3 will take place Spring 2010 (date TBD).

This year, Hope in the City will highlight 3 different facets of fashion:

1. An ESTABLISHED designer showcasing his/her collection.

2. EMERGING designers with an opportunity to showcase 14 garments in their collections.
3. EXPERIMENTAL designers, in which they will create an avant grande garment out of paper.

I invite you to take part in the Experimental section of our event and make a garment out of paper. A background in fashion design is not necessary, but an artistic eye and an openness to think outside the box is.

We will be providing you with the paper supplies (LA Weekly, 944 magazine or the LA Times) and you will be given 6 weeks to complete the garment. You must attend an introduction party on February 4th to be a part of our event.

If you are interested in applying to be featured as one of the EMERGING designers, please contact Julia LoVan at julesandthesea@gmail.com.

We have a limited number of experimental designers for this year’s event so please e-mail Corrie Sullivan (corriesullivan@gmail.com) ASAP to be considered. Corrie will then send you a brief application form.

This will be an amazing event and we hope you are as excited as we are.

Regards,

Mosaic-LA’s Hope in the City team
