Samples of Special Categories
for Future Fashion Design Contests
|
Often Future Fashion shows have special design categories. Some have
extra rewards, some of just an extra category; most are rather whimsical, though
some are serious. They're all created to increase the flow of design
ideas.
Samples
| The Dr. Terwilliker "Dress Me Up" Award - sponsored by
The League of Evil Geniuses. What are the Evil of the Future going
to wear? |
| Project Folio - Sign up in advance for this special
category. Applications must be received by August 15, 2007 for
this category. |
| The Theodor Seuss Geisel "Cat in the Hat" Award - What
is the fashionable non-human of the future wearing? |
| And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street - What
would little Marco have envisioned in the future? |
| Rock & Roll, part II - sponsored by Nora & Bruce Mai. In keeping
with the "Hell Freezes Over" Rock & Roll theme (again) we're looking for
designs inspired by the music of the Rock & Roll era. Winning designs might
include: Best Glam-Rock, Best Classic Rock, Best Hair-Band look, Best Punk,
Best Group, you get the idea. There will be more than one winner in this
category. The winners will receive a cash prize & special commemorative gift. |
| I Shall Wear Purple... With a Red Hat! (Inspired by the poem
"Warning" by Jenny Joseph) - sponsored by Cathy Swope. The costuming community
is long overdue in addressing this quintessential area of fashionable
expression. The successful designer will create a "costumer's red hat"
design. It may incorporate any historical or futuristic design elements
desired, in any combination. The only restriction is that the main color of
the ensemble must be purple, except for the hat, which must be predominantly
red. Prizes will be suitably whimsical and eccentric.
P.S. We don't care if you're old, or a woman! Design away! |
| Best Use of the Color Orange - sponsored by Larry Mische & Ramona
Taylor. Orange must be the dominant color (70%, any/all shades of orange). No
other parameters. $25 cash prize. |
Costume Con 23
| Wild Frontier - Imagine the future as we expand out with our knowledge. We will be traveling
deeper into Space, exploring the Oceans and maybe even other Dimensions. Some
folks will choose to seek the wilds of frontier life vs. the safe mundania of a
structured civilization. What will they wear? What is considered wild in the
future? sponsored by Cat Devereaux |
| Desert Climate - Can be the deserts here on Earth, or on some distant planet. Do your own
interpretation of costumes from your favorite genre book or movie featuring a
desert climate, or make up clothing from a culture of your own invention.
Sponsored by Ricky and Karen Dick |
| I Love Rock'n'Roll! - sponsored by Nora and Bruce Mai
| Designs inspired by your favorite group, song, music-style... put on the
tunes and let the pencil fly! |
| Definition: Rock'nRoll - Musical form prevalent in the last half of the
twentieth century. Including (but not limited to): Pop, Techno, Classic
Rock, Alternative, Funk, Disco, Garage, Southern Rock, Bubblegum, Heavy
Metal, Rap, Reggae, Pop Latino, Acid Rock, Dance, Punk, Goth, Grunge......
Everything from Chuck Berry to Nelly! |
|
| Fashions from Middle-earth - Sponsored by Cat Devereaux
| Design an outfit for your favorite resident of Middle-earth, be it
Dwarf, Elf Lord, or Human or anyone else. We've only seen two of the
wizards. What do the others wear? Do Ents robe themselves in flowers and
ivy? What about caparisons for the beloved horses of the Rohirrim? Create
the best dressed denizen of Middle-earth's future. |
| Remember, this is a "futurist" contest, so the outfit needs some kind of
a twist to move it forward. If you're looking for an idea on where to
start, wander over to LOTR
Costume to see what they were wearing during the "3rd age". |
