Phoenix Fashion Week’s 3rd Annual ‘Inspire Fashion’ T-shirt Design Contest is now accepting applications and for the first
time, will be presented by Cabana Modern Apartment Homes. Just as Cabana has re-defined the look and feel of affordable living spaces, they feel there is art and inspiration everywhere and are excited to see how the talented local applicants bring a fresh, unique and creative perspective to t-shirt design. This year’s winning sketch could very well become a part of a multi-million dollar fashion ad campaign, and both Phoenix Fashion Week and Cabana are excited to be able to support the furthering of a local student’s education with the winner receiving a $1,000 fashion scholarship.

“The Cabana Modern Apartment Homes brand and its parent company Deco Communities strongly support community and charity initiatives that foster education for young people in the community,” said Pat Watts, partner for both companies.

“Our brands cater to the Gen Y population, a group whose creativity and ideas will inspire what the next generation will look like in terms of art, design, architecture, technology and more. We couldn’t be more thrilled to provide the opportunity to help pave the way for the best and most talented creative minds to flourish in their educations and careers,” she said.

The winning sketch will be produced by Phoenix Fashion Week, displayed and sold exclusively in the Style Villa Marketplace October 3-5. The ‘Inspire Fashion’ T-shirt Design Contest winner will also be recognized at Phoenix Fashion Week and will receive a $1,000 fashion scholarship.

To apply, students must submit their top computer-graphic or finished sample t-shirt design that creatively incorporates the Phoenix Fashion Week name or logo. Designs must be submitted no later than Friday, September 6th, and the winner will be announced via social media September 13th.

Studio 3D to Serve as Chic Backdrop for ‘Shop Garment District’

studio 3d

Studio 3D is a name around town that is synonymous with style, sophistication and technology. Following a successful Industry Mixer event last year, this local photography studio and event space has jumped back on board with Phoenix Fashion Week again this year to host our annual ‘Shop Garment District’ event and Emerging Designer Fashion Show! “Our studio is set up as a multipurpose facility to cater to many different uses. An event like Shop Garment District allows us to showcase everything we have to offer. From having the models hair and make up done in our salon, to the chef preparing food in our full state of the art kitchen, utilizing our bars and sponsors, to using our cyclorama (CYC) wall as the setting for the fashion show, it will allow people to see our full potential as a space,” said Studio Manager Nate Gossage.

Taking place on Friday, August 9th, 7pm at the stylish Studio 3D in Phoenix, this event previews new looks from the fall 2013 Emerging Designer line-up in a high-energy runway show, along with a trunk sale by this year’s emerging and accessory designers where guests can shop the designers direct and enjoy lite bites prepared live by Chef Tim Cobb of Luncha Libre.

“There is always some element of fashion and style that goes into what we do…we designed our space in a way that would be functional and appealing to that audience. From our layout to the color scheme, we hope that people get a modern yet classy feel when in attendance, making us a great space to host an event for other artistic creative minded people, ” said Gossage.

After receiving rave reviews of the 2013 Emerging Designers to show at fashion week in the fall, this event promises an exciting sneak peek into more of these designers’ collections before they are debuted at Phoenix Fashion Week at Talking Stick Resort, October 1-5, 2013. In conjunction with No7’s ‘Model of the Year’ Contest, Shop Garment District will also serve as the Official Runway Challenge for these Top 40 male and female models, with styling provided by TONI&GUY Academy, the Official Hair Partner of PHXFW 2013.

“This fashion event has top models, apparel and accessory designers all under one roof and it’s amazing to be able to shop these looks seen on the runway well before their debut at Phoenix Fashion Week at Talking Stick Resort in October!” said Brian Hill, PHXFW Executive Director. Shop Garment District is supported by Zappos.com, No7, TONI&GUY Hairdressing, Studio 3D, UBER, and Luncha Libre.
