This year the artists participate in an all-day sewing blitz that takes place at BIMA from 10am-5:30pm, using a curated box of clean scrap pieces, upholstery samples, and deadstock textiles otherwise destined for landfills. In addition, students are presenting the results of their jeans and t-shirt challenge, where they were tasked with unsewing and remaking jeans and a t-shirt to create new styles. In the evening, models will descend the grand staircase in completed outfits before the general public and judges, who will determine the cash prize awards.
The public may arrive at 5:30 for drinks (for purchase) and appetizers. The show runs 6:30-7:30.
