Container Park Fashion Show Round Up

At the beginning of the month, we had the privilege of organizing a unique and fun fashion show highlighting the amazing talents of design students from the Las Vegas Art Institute and the tenants of the Container Park located in Downtown Vegas. Locals and visitors alike came down and were treated to a lively show as well as an hour of being introduced to designers and models explaining their designs in more detail and hustlin' for votes (a very necessary skill for future success, lol!). It was such a blast and the designs were well executed and oh-so-CREATIVE! Here's a closer look at the event and a sampling of some of the phenomenal designs...

Downtown Las Vegas Container Park Fashion Show

Get ready to get inspired with some one of a kind fashion! Winky Designs is excited to announce a collaboration with the Container Park and the Art Institute of Las Vegas (AiLV) to create a truly one-of-a-kind fashion show! 28 brands within the Container Park (including not only the boutiques and galleries but also restaurants and food shops) have been paired with 28 AiLV students to design dresses which reflect the unique and eclectic mix of brands at the Container Park.  The students' original creations will then walk the runway to show off the local shops and their brand concepts on April 5th, 2014 at 1pm.

The student designers will be judged on their creativity as well as their ability to represent the spirit of the brand they’re designing for. Expect popcorn, cupcake, and street art inspired dresses to be parading down the runway! The grand prize winner will be voted on by the audience and 2 runners up will be voted on by a panel of notable Vegas judges. Prizes include over $2,000 in gifts given by the participating brands. This event promises to be fun and festive for watchers and designers both!
