Our favorite Atlanta boutique, P. Valentine is looking for the next top designer! Emerging designers in the Atlanta area can now register for a chance of a lifetime to become the “City’s Most Loved Designer.” Profiles of all participating designers will be posted for the city to vote on who they love the most. Although voting last for only one week, profiles will be on review for 29 days. It’s fare game for all that apply and a great way to show Atlanta what you’ve got!
The public poll will open February 1, 2008 and close on February 8, 2008 . The public will view your general profile/design and make their vote for the top 8 designers. After the top 8 designers are chosen, the judges will pick the final winner. Designers are chosen based on submission through IconStyleinc.com and selected by some of Atlanta’s most noteworthy fashion, academia and media professionals in the market.
P. Valentine requires that showcase designers have assembled their own collections and have shipped and sold at least one collection to at least one boutique or store. The shows are for designers who otherwise do not have the logistical or economic resources to mount their own professionally produced exposure event at this point in their career.
The winner of the competition will receive a signature window display and selling opportunity through P.Valentine boutique , marketing support from IconStyle Inc. , a profile on Brown Fashionista , an interview on ClutchTV, and an installation mixer privy to Atlanta’s most fashion forward individuals. Designers rush over to enter—registration opens today! For more information please log-on to www.pvalentine.com
