I dream of a musician wearing my designs someday and with BurdaStyle’s latest contest that dream could come true. BurdaStyle is teaming up with Style X to offer a design challenge to have your design worn by a musician performing at one of the largest music events in the United States! To enter, BurdaStyle members must post one fashion sketch and one mood board as a project, detailing their dream rock star fashion look. All submissions must be uploaded by February 7 at 11:59 p.m. 5-10 sketches will be chosen by BurdaStyle, BERNINA, and Style X. On February 8th, BurdaStyle will announce and contact five winners. Each winning designer will then be given the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind look for a well-known musician featured at SXSW Music! Winners will be responsible for sourcing their fabric and notions. The winning looks will be featured on the Style X runway and editorial coverage on the BurdaStyle blog.

Please see here for the rest of the official rules.

Style X Design Challenge 2012

I received an email this afternoon from the producer of the BurdaStyle DIY Fashion Show that Kramp Kouture was chosen as part of their line up for the runway show on March 13th held during SXSW. There is so much to prepare for before the show! I have to select a model, attend a meet and greet, and have everything ready for call time on March 13th. This is going to be an amazing chance to gain some great press and networking. Being a selected participant, I will be featured in a new BurdaStyle blog series, Meet the Designer. BurdaStyle will also be heavily promoting this event in a newsletter going out to 185,000+ world-wide subscribers and to a membership of near 500,000 members. The guest list is to be of 500 attendees, including influential fashion bloggers, DIY world influencers, and the BurdaStyle family. I can’t wait to see the fashion show come together, mingle and sip cocktails.

If you are in the Austin area please join me at the BurdaStyle Fashion Show on March 13th at Venue 222 on 222 East 6th Street on Sunday, March 13th at 8-10pm. The fashion show starts at 9:00pm with cocktails!

BurdaStyle recently announced that they are hosting a DIY Fashion Show during SXSW in Austin, TX on March 13th. They are casting 15 DIY fashion designers to showcase during their event. I submitted my entry today and can’t wait for the announcement on February 15th, I hope I make the cut! Even if I don’t, I’ll definitely be there to see the show, network, and sip cocktails.
