SOUTH CENTRAL CHAPTER OF ASID presents AN ARKANSAS FEATURE:
PRODUCT RUNWAY
PRODUCT RUNWAY
Design teams will be randomly paired with one HARD GOOD and one SOFT GOOD Garment Label Sponsor. The final garment must contain a minimum of 80% of materials (mix of hard and soft goods) supplied by the Garment Label Sponsors. The remaining 20% can be additional materials, decided upon by the design team, as needed. Teams also have the option to modify the color of their materials by method of paint, dying, etc. The design teams may ‘self-fund’ up to $100 to purchase supplemental materials: closures, accessories, thread, etc. All garments must be designed and made by the participating design team members; no outsourcing is allowed.
In addition to designing/creating a garment, each team is required to create a supporting small item/prop for the garment. This item needs to stand alone without the garment and must contain at least 50% of materials (mix of hard and soft goods) supplied by the Garment Label Sponsors. At the end of the runway show, these items/props will be auctioned off as a fundraiser for the selected local charities.
Teams are required to submit a digital portfolio and a digital poster that will be on display at the runway event. Teams will be provided with templates that must be used for consistency of presentations. Portfolios/Posters will include:
Each team must select who will model the garment during the runway show, from their registered team members. The model’s name must be submitted to the committee. If an escort or 2nd garment model is needed, a request must be made to the planning committee.
Teams are responsible for choosing their own music and choreographing their performance. Creativity and showmanship during the performance is highly encouraged. Have fun!
Music must be clean, cut to 1 minute and 30 seconds, and provided to the planning committee for review.
Design teams will be made aware of the runway layout and lighting design a few weeks prior to the event. Each model’s performance will have the same lighting sequence. No custom lighting requests are available.
No weapons, animals, children, or pyrotechnics will be permitted during a performance.
The stage must be free of debris, materials, and residue after each performance. Any item removed as part of the model’s performance must be cleared immediately after removal, by a team member.
All garments must be complete and checked in at the venue between 9-10 AM on Friday, September 22nd for Garment Judging. Garments will be privately judged by a team of judges, selected by the planning committee.

If time allows, models may run through performances a 2nd time.
