Cat's Eye Vintage Designer Challenge 2012

A designer challenge has just been shared with me and I have to share with all of you. One just the mention of the words "Designer Challenge" means some incredible ideas will be mustered up through out the incredible talent we have through out Calgary and two it means another fashion show on our calendars to attend! Yay. 

Cat’s Eye Vintage has annouced a Designer Challenge! And here is how it rolls out...

$50 entry fee gives designers a choice of up to 3 vintage items from Cat’s Eye’s tattered & torn but begging to be worn collection of amazing vintage pieces. Fabrics are divine and funky.

60 days are given to de-construct and re create one amazing wearable piece.

Celebrity judges will choose winners at a run way show in one of Calgary’s premiere clubs where the designer will be asked to speak briefly on their choices and their process.

Items may then be sold, auctioned or kept by the designer.

Designers may use their own model, or self show, or Cat’s Eye can provide models.

Media is already excited and on board to cover this event

Designers please contact Cat’s Eye to register for this spectacular event!

Dress for Success

You are all fashion lovers, that is why you  read this blog. So I know you have many items in your closet that just sit there and go unused. Now there is a consignment option, I do have big love for that option I can even list a couple of my fav spots for it. However that will be another blog post another day. Today, we are talking about an alternative way you can pass on those great pieces that can be reused by someone who would absolutely treasure them and make a difference in their life.

Dress for Success changes the lives of Canadian and New Canadian women by outfitting them with clothing for employment. They give each client an average of 5 outfits - 20 to 30 articles of clothing - including shoes and various accessories. The clothes and accessories are meant to provide the client with a complete quality wardrobe for interviews and ongoing employment. Their professionally trained Personal Stylists offer a 'by appointment only' one-on-one service, in which they work together to choose attire that will best fit the client's needs and individual style. This in turn is a win win for not only the client but for the Employment Agency as well!

Can you imagine how amazing you would feel if you had such an opportunity for such amazing support if something happened to you, and you needed a leg up to get your career on track! Take that feeling and give back to the so many women in need of these clothes. And I don't mean the ratty Tshirt you work out in the gym in. The items they are looking for are articles that are no more than 3 years old, so they are dressing these women with clothing that can last them another 3 years or more and also improve their confidence. You can't do that in the wrong '80s no no blazer.  

So ladies, I encourage you to go through your closets and donate some business attire that can help make a difference in another deserving woman's life. And don't think you need to fill a garbage bag. Even just a few pieces can go a long way. And FTR, coming from someone who used to manage a consignment shop, please don't roll it in a ball and through it in a bag. Help them out by bringing in on a hanger or something.
