Fashion Call for Submissions: The Mercury Spring Fashion Show
Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Mon, Mar 23, 2009 at 12:57 PM
The Mercury is gearing up for our fifth annual spring fashion show (Sunday, April 26), which I am proud to say has had the honor of introducing some of the best new design talent onto Portland's consciousness, many of whom have gone on to do some very interesting things. (Um, Leanne Marshall much?) This year's format will deviate slightly from that of the past couple years: It is a platform dedicated primarily to established Portland designers, who in most cases have made their mark by emphasizing limited or one-of-a-kind pieces, and many of whom are recognizable as instrumental to the existence and perpetuation of Portland's unique scene.
In the interest of tilling the soil and in celebration of the burgeoning designers who are keeping the torch alive, a portion of the show will also be dedicated to the work of designers chosen by submission, selected by a jury including myself, France May boutique owner Pamela Baker-Miller, Portland designer (also showing his own work) Adam Arnold, and fellow MOD contributor Brett Glass. We are looking for a small selection of designers to produce one look apiece for an emerging designer showcase alongside the work of ground-laying designers like Holly Stalder, Frocky Jack Morgan, and many more.
Interested in being part of the most exciting Portland fashion event of the season? You should be! To submit your work for consideration, please send a submission package that includes a brief bio, photographs of your finished work (samples are not necessary, and please do not end anything you wish to have returned). Apparel and accessories designers of all kinds are welcome to apply!
Please send mailed/drop off submissions attn'd to Marjorie Skinner c/o the Portland Mercury, 605 NE 21st Ave Ste 200, Portland, OR 97232. All submissions must be received by Thursday, April 9 at 5 pm and must include a $25 submission fee, with all checks and money orders made out to the Portland Mercury.
