Project Red Dress Recap

On friday night I had the pleasure of participating in a fabulous event, Project Red Dress - read more details in our last post here. It was a blast! The event was sold out, and the Spanish ballroom at the Fairmont Hotel was brimming with people and excitement. I had a lot of fun coming up with the flowers: Yes, that's a model of a red dress on the left (well, a red and chartreuse dress) all out of kermit mums and carnations, which welcomed the 500 guests.

The runway show was fabulous, and our VIP tickets landed us right at the end of the runway, which allowed me to take some great shots (which otherwise would have been horrible shots since I'm not the best photographer). Speaking of photographers, Jeff Laplante, Barbie Hull and Mike Adams were all there to capture the evening with much more photographic talent than I, keep an eye out on their blogs for some photos of the evening! (Barbie has hers up already!)




The best part of the evening of course was the runway show, led by the super fun Brooke and Monti of the Ladies Room morning show on 92.5 FM. The fabulous judges included Laura Cassidy of Seattle Metropolitan Magazine and Nick Verreos of Project Runway fame. (He was a blast!)

I loved the variety of styles of the dresses, it's incredible what young design students can create in only four working sessions (the event was like a mini "Project Runway," each student only got four small sessions to work on their dress, with their work being locked away in between).

My favorite of all the dresses was this one:
(I really really WANT this dress!)





















but many of the gowns had fabulous details!













The winner? This little number which was chosen by the judges not only for it's overall look but it's impeccable construction and little surprise details.

Project Red Dress





















Here at Bella Signature Design we are so excited to be a sponsor at this year's "Project Red Dress"! This is the second annual Project Red Dress, following it's sold-out debut last year.

This year's event is being held at the beautiful Fairmont Hotel, and features a cocktail reception followed by the highly anticipated runway show of the hottest red dresses from some of Seattle's most innovative designers, students in the fashion industry Proceeds from the event benefit the student winner of Project Red Dress with a Fashion Group International-Seattle scholarship and the American Heart Association.



I am having a blast coming up with some creative ways to create a few sensational designs with a tiny budget, with a red theme near valentine's day(red flowers are triple their normal cost for the week preceding Valentines day...) I am seeing a miniature version of a red dress made out of flowers, some suspended orchids, trailing roses...how fun!

The runway contest will be judged by local design professionals and celebrity designer Nick Verreos, best known for his designs on the show Project Runway. Hmm, I'll have to come up with a really creative boutonierre for him!
If you don't have your tickets yet, click below to purchase some - they will be available at the door that night, but will be more expensive! (Hint: The VIP tickets are the best!)
Don't miss the chance to be a part of this fabulous event, full of fashion, glamour and fun - we could all use a little of that right now! See you there!
