A design challenge with a twist! Product Runway puts teams of design professionals from multiple disciplines in a fashion design competition design and create (yes we mean fabricate) a garment out of standard architectural finish materials such as tile, upholstery, carpet, and wallcoverings. Each team will have 2 hours to conceptualize, design, and build their creation. Models are provided, or if you would like to have an additional team member model just let us know!! At the end of the challenge, each teams design will get to walk the runway and show off their creation to a team of judges and all of Wichita’s design community! Sign up early, the color for your garment can be selected on a first come first serve basis so the earlier you sign up the better chance you have to get the color of your choice!
