GM Student Design Competition
For the sixth year, General Motors has sponsored a student design competition for Junior and Senior Fashion Design students. Students are challenged to design garments based on five GM automobiles. For 2008, students will take inspiration from one concept car – the Hummer HX, in addition to the Chevrolet Malibu LTZ, Pontiac G8 GT, Saturn Astra 3-Door and the Saab Turbo X.
Student designs are based on the vehicle and should be an “expression” of the vehicle. Students will take inspiration from the design of the car – the f orm, shape, technology, materials, color, “stance”, character, features. In a new twist for the 2008 competition, students will also be challenged to design for a specific garment category such as Career, Sportswear, Eveningwear, and Avant-garde. |
