Project Ethos Media Watch

First, I have to thank all the people I met involved with Project Ethos. I am very impressed with how well run their organization is and how much work they put into each show. I was there all day doing what I do best and observing my surroundings, just soaking it all in.

This event was a little different for me, as much as I want to stick with the bridal industry, I realize that I am so much more than a bridal gown designer. With this show, I really had fun with my vitaminwater zero design for my flavor "go go." When I was designing my piece, I regained the love I have for color and fun with textiles.

In the end, I didn't win the competition. The winner was based on live text voting and my understanding that this was not my usual target market helped me let go of any animosity towards any of my competitors. I had realized with this show that whatever happens I was going to end up saying how fun the night was and I did.

Below are some links, clips and pictures of my designs and the other gowns / designers from the show. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
