Last year Becky and I attended an event called Fashion Remix. It's a charity event where teams of Interior Designers are randomly paired up with a manufacturer of various interior products. Each team is then given the challenge to design and create an outfit out of that manufacturer's product. It is quite a challenge as none of these materials were ever intended to be made into an outfit someone could actually wear!
Last year, three co-workers of mine and I joined in. We were paired with a furniture manufacturer and made a dress made out of wood. It was a challenging and seemed to have taken FOREVER to complete... and yet SO rewarding when our model walked the runway wearing the dress! This year we formed the same team, along with a second team from our firm, and are at it again...

One week from tonight is this year's event. We've been hard at work since May, meeting during lunch hours, and even taking "homework" home at night. This year we are paired with Hallmark Building Supply. You may ask "Who?" That was our first remark as well. They rep many companies, adnwe chose DuPont. This year's dress: Corian & Tyvek. No sneak peaks... You'll have to come to the fashion show to see ;) (Or wait until after when we post some pix)

What, no sneak peeks? You are such a tease. I guess I'll just have to anxiously await next weeks post. Good Luck! Your dress really did turn out so pretty last year. I can't believe it has been a year already.
A dress made out of Corian? And I thought only counter tops. Where's my imagination????
