CASTING CALL
OPEN CALL FOR DESIGNERS
June 17th, 2008
4pm-9pm
Thompson Hotel, SoHo, NY

Supima has created a runway event to showcase the best upcoming talent with fabrics made from Supima, the world’s most luxurious cotton.  The latest Supima fabrics from top international mills will be given to designers selected to create a women’s wear piece.  The resulting design will be presented at a live runway show that will take place the evening of July 15th at Gotham Hall, NYC.

To be considered for participation, interested designers will need to present at a open call that will take place Tuesday June 17th from 4pm to 9pm at the Thompson Hotel in SoHo.  Designers will interview with a panel composed of fashion editors, established designers and Supima representatives.

Designers participating in the open call should bring:
A sketch of proposed women’s evening wear design
A copy of their design portfolio
Current CV / Resume

Selected designers will be provided with ten yards of fabric with which they can create a women’s evening wear design.  The fashions will be shown on professional models at the PREFAB runway event on the evening of Tuesday July 15th.  Selected designers will have their sketches and information featured in a magazine that Supima will publish and distribute to over 10,000 retailers, buyers, and fashion industry insiders.  Winning designs will also be featured on the Supima website and included in future promotions.
