The HP / Project Runway Challenge: Week 7
Monday, September 12, 2011
Ez in Fashion + Style, HP Challenge

Hi guys! I'm still here on the East Coast after my pinch-me-am-I-dreaming weekend with HP / Project Runway (I'll be sharing my photos from that tomorrow and Wednesday in place of my regular posts). Anyhow, since we were going to be in the midst of it all during this past week's episode airing, HP sent me the challenge early (the infamous fabric design challenge) and I did my best to create something with no more direction than "design a fabric and create an outfit using your design." I didn't realize how challenging it would be without having the chance to watch the show for inspiration as I did for all my past challenges. So for better or worse here my design is.

For my look I wanted to create a print with a modern ethnic feeling to it. With the TouchSmart I was able to use stencils included with the ArtRage program to create my print. Since the pattern I created is so large I decided to keep the silhouette of my dress classic so that everything would balance out nicely.

If you'd like to take a peek at my previous challenge interpretations you can find them here. If you missed this past week's episode you watch the entire thing online right here. xo Ez
