From the pages of Threads Magazine The RS/WS Wool Challenge The RS/WS Wool Challenge winners were announced last May in Los Angeles at the fashion show during the annual PACC convention. Here is a sampling of photos of the winners and audience at the show.
This time, we asked participants to select a wool fabric with a different, interesting reverse side, and create a garment or ensemble featuring this reverse side in some distinctive way. The wool could be paired with another fabric but had to make up at least 75 percent of the garment. We also asked them to incorporate into the design a lively closure. The Threads editors blind-judged the 34 entries last April, using as their criteria the design's overall success, the quality of craftsmanship, and the innovative use of the fabric's reverse side. The editors selected four garments -- and the fashion-show audience picked their favorite entry for the Audience Choice Award -- for awards and total cash prizes of $3,450.
