The Art Institute of Charleston is sponsoring the Emerging Designer Competition during Charleston Fashion Week May 16 – 20, 2010.
The week long activities, in this historic city, continue to garner attention from the fashion industry and ‘designers on the rise’ with the hope of seeing their creations in stores. This annual competition, now in its 4th year, has launched the careers of several designers who were tapped to participate in the coveted Project Runway series.
The winners of the designer competition will receive:
• $1,000 cash Prize
• A $15,000 website, created by F22 Designs
• Free Runway Show at Charleston Fashion Week® 2011
• Booth at AmericasMart® Atlanta Apparel Market in August – the largest apparel market on the East Coast
The competition will feature emerging designers from South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virgina.
