Project Runway Mt.Mary Version

Project Runway Student Competition has BEGUN!!

The first round of Mt.Mary's 2nd Annual Project Runway started this past Tuesday, Nov. 5th. I decided to enter as a designer and awaited the challenges that were on my way. This week's theme was "Junk Chic."

Our challenge was to make a garment out of a garbage bag. We had 2 items to incorporate and made visible to the audience: 3 ribbons and 3 floral bows. On the table given, laid miscellaneous items to help structure our garment.

Since each contestant only got 30 seconds to choose our items I quickly grabbed whatever I can. Pretty random things I can say, but I managed.

We had about 20-25 minutes to start on our garments, this was due to the bad timing --it was suppose to be 35-40 minutes.

Week 1
                      Front                                                          Back


Week 2
Challenge : Study Abroad Theme, Rome. The scenario I randomly chose was going sightseeing riding a moped. Didn't do so well this week, but this was Week 2's garment.

Week 3 (final)
Challenge: Cult Movies Theme, and I randomly chose Hunger Games. Make a garment inspired by the film. I used inspirations from District 12, representing mining and coal; and District 13 which represented rebellion.



Drum Roll Please....is the winner! Gladly with all the support from friends and students at school, I've impressed them and won the competition. Even though it was only held once every week for 3 weeks, I've learn a lot from this. It has taught me to think outside the box, use time wisely (only had 20-25 min), and be more actively involve in school and community. I've also got to meet and make new friends throughout the competition. It was a great and fun run, until next time.
