Dressed

So back in February, I was approached by my Knoll rep in response to an IIDA event's call for entries. The "Dressed" event was for interior designers in the Atlanta area (me) to use interior design resources (materials, thinking, etc) to create runway garments. We were provided professional models, but my team decided that, since I am way over 6'-0" myself, I might as well model my garment too. In hindsight, I shall allow myself more time in the future when I plan to design, make, AND wear a garment that will be photographed. :)

Featured in my garment are two different colors of Knoll "Silver Screen" drapery fabric, as well as a belt made of Risom Chair webbing.

I had a blast during the actual event. I will never ever complain about getting my hair and makeup done! In the end, I got to parade my creation in front of all of my peers at a fabulous venue, with Project Runway's Anthony Williams (hilarious) behind the mic. Much gratitude to my Knoll/CE team members: Kerry Seiling, and Tracy Bennett, and to my design partner since birth: MOM! Love you all.
