Fashion Show
Fashionable Chic:
A World of Wearable Art
Unleash your creativity! Bring us your woven, felted, sewn, knitted, manipulated fabric or quilted garments. We want your cosmic color, starry style, stellar structure, big-bang flamboyant, extraterrestrial elegant, galaxy glamorous, or your down-to-earth restrained wearables to be modeled in our galactic star-struck show. Surprise entertainment will follow the event.
The show will be presented on the Convention Center stage Friday, April 9th at 7:30 p.m. All garments will be displayed on the conference floor Saturday and Sunday. Garments entered may not have been shown at a previous CNCH conference. You can choose to model your creation(s) yourself, or, if you are not comfortable on stage under the lights, we can find someone to model for you who will make your garment look wonderful (we promise!). There will be a mandatory rehearsal prior to the show.
Entry is open to members of CNCH, ASCH, or ANWG guilds, or members of PENWAG or the Haute Couture Societe, and to any registrant of CNCH 2010. To enter, copy and fill out the form below and submit a completed form with each entry, together with one full-view color photograph or digital image, clearly labeled with your name and the title of the work. Woven entries must include a copy of the weaving draft. All entries should include a swatch of the fabric approximately 10 x 10 inches for the “touching” display in the gallery. While not required, this is strongly suggested. It will help keep your garment clean.
The entry fee is $10 per entry or three entries for $25. Ensembles will be considered one entry. Limit of three entries per person. Photography will be allowed at the show. If you do not want your garment to be photographed, please do not enter it. You may choose whether or not to have your entry judged.
The deadline for submitting entry forms and fees is March 15, 2010 (new deadline). Notification of acceptance and instructions for delivery before the show and pick-up afterwards will be emailed March 10, 2010. If you don’t use email, please provide a self-addressed stamped envelope. We suggest that you make a copy of the completed application for your records.
