Hey designers, Modcloth wants you!
MODCLOTH’S Make The Cut Contest is back and in full swing and they want you and all those fabulous ideas rolling around in the beautiful noggin of yours. The theme? ‘Prints’ Charming. (Not to be confused with Adam Ant’s “Prince Charming”.)
What in the world is Make The Cut, you ask?
MODCLOTH’S Make The Cut program is a design contest (and a recurring one at that!) where Modcloth invites you and members of their community to become the designer. The contests run the gamut from garments and graphics to fabric prints.
Modcloth puts the power in your hands, democratizing fashion by producing clothing designed by the people who buy it…people like you!
SO IF YOU’VE DREAMED of becoming a fashion designer or have a passion for textiles then this contest is for you, darling, and I strongly suggest you take advantage of the opportunity. What do you have to lose? YOU can become a designer at ModCloth!
How does it work?
YOUR MISSION, should you choose to accept it, is to design a new print for a private label dress. That means you design the pattern which will be featured on one of Modcloth’s dresses (which is already in production). Once the submission period is closed the Modcloth Creative Team takes a gander at all the glory and narrows the selection down to 20 patterns. Those 20 designs will then be sent to the guest judge, Amanda Needham, Costume Designer for the much beloved show Portlandia.
AMANDA cuts it down to the top ten finalists which will be posted on Modcloth’s Be The Buyer page where we can all go and vote for our favorite one. The design with the most votes gets the glory and the winner’s pattern will be seen and worn far and wide.
YOU HAVE TWO DAYS to get your submission in so shake a tail feather, my dears. This is too fun to pass up! Here’s the timeline breakdown.
