Heidi Klum has inspired aspiring fashion designers for seven seasons with her hit television show and cultural phenomenon, Project Runway. Following her lead, Simplicity Creative Group® —known to industry-insiders as the iconic company committed to sewing education and support since 1927—is now giving a new audience of designers the chance to turn “pro.”
Simplicity® is teaming up with The Weinstein Company and Project Runway® to offer designers, sewers and patternmakers the opportunity of a lifetime with the Inspired by Project Runway® Pattern Design Contest. Giving style-mavens the chance to enter the fashion world, the challenge is to creatively craft your original core design into an Inspired by Project Runway® pattern design. The design should have a current look with up to five variations on the core design pattern.
From your sketchbook to the fitting room, this is a rare opportunity to compete in a fashion design contest where the prize enables the winner’s name to be forever attached to the Simplicity® and Inspired by Project Runway® brands. “We are looking forward to reviewing the entries and introducing a fresh, new design to our Inspired by Project Runway® pattern collection and the world of fashion,” says Bonnie Simmons, Design Director of Simplicity®.
