RUNWAY 3.0

Hello -

Well Runway 3.0 was definitely an experience! I thought the show went very well, and I look forward to next year creating a senior collection!

Runway 3.0 theme: TECHNOLOGY: PROGRESSION/OBSESSION

For my mini-collection, Starlit Temptation, I created three garments. My concept was to take the oh-so-classic little black dress and incorporate technology within the garments themselves. Using LED Floratlytes, white and pink fiber optic Glowbys, black and white hotfix glass crystals and pink and white Angelina roses, I was able to light up each of the dresses and make them really sparkle and shine.

In addition to using physical technology in the garments, I also made my collection virtually using the Second Life platform. Each of my garments were fully created to match each of the real life garments with every last detail. Each done in black of course, however, I will be expanding those colors and styles to develop a full collection in Second Life to sell very soon. Shenlei (of Fashion Research Institute, Inc.) created an exact replica of the Pierce Arrow Building, the place that the real life runway show would be taking place. The virtual model bots in the virtual world strutted their stuff down the runway and looked amazing. During the real life show, I used the 20 foot tall video screen to showcase my virtual collection, having each virtual model walk and pose down simultaneously behind the real life model.
