Fresh Talent at PFW’s Emerging Designer Competition
Phase one of CATAPULT, Portland Fashion Week’s emerging designer competition, took place yesterday, August 22, 2010, in Portland’s Pearl District. Nine designers showed up for the chance to move on and become a finalist and get the opportunity to present their Spring/Summer 2011 Collections on October 7, 2010 at Portland Fashion Week. The winner will receive a prize package that will help “catapult” them on their way, which includes marketing consultation with a PR firm, graphic design and photography for a lookbook, production run to help start producing their brand, and an all inclusive collection show at Portland Fashion Week 2011.
