First, the inspiration: Popular TV show Project Runway is the impetus though this spin-off has "a comical spin, featuring music and the latest couture by Asheville’s creative community," says a press release. And, since the show is from 10 a.m. to noon, "breakfast in a sack" is included in the tick price.
Local celebrity judges will name winners. Prizes include best in show and:
1. Professional Designers Seeking Gig (Self Employed Designers)
2. Available at Local Businesses (Existing products at retail shops)
3. I Sewed It Myself (Amateurs)
4. Only in Asheville Couture (Designers using innovative materials and/or techniques)
5. Up-cycled One-Of-A-Kind Day/Evening Wear (Clothing redesigns)
6. Professional/Semi-Professional, Tasteful (Family Friendly, Comical, Drag Queen Division)
According to the press release, "All proceeds go directly to the JCC, a non-profit organization supporting those in need throughout the Greater Asheville area. Brother Wolf Animal Rescue is assisting with Project Runway and welcomes donations of pet food and/or pet toys at this event."
All ages are welcome; tickets are $18 per person.
