Here’s the deal: Christina, Mode magazine’s resident keeper of “the closet,” is commissioned by a prominent celebrity to design a dress to be worn at a formal public event– but she’s snowed in at the office! With twelve hours to execute her design and no fabric to work with, Christina is forced to the use everyday office supplies to make her creation.
That’s where you come in. Help Christina make the formal dress!
Submit drawing(s) or sketch(es) of your Design, showing both the back and front of the garment, along with instructions on how to construct it (i.e. materials used, shape, form and color) only using office supplies such as tape, bubble wrap, shopping bags, calendars, shoe boxes, hole punchers, paper clips or newspaper, just to name a few. Also, submit an original Essay in 100 words or less, discussing the underlying concept for the Design.
A dress based on the winning design will appear in an upcoming episode of the show! The winning “designer” will receive a trip for two (2) to Los Angeles, CA for the taping of the Ugly Betty television show scheduled to take place on 02/02/2007, where a dress based upon the winner’s Design will be incorporated in the Show.
