Collage: Fashion Department’s Mystery Fabric Contest
Students in Cañada’s Fashion Department had the opportunity to
participate in a contest with mystery fabrics. Thirty seven students
selected a bundle of unknown materials and then designed a garment using all of
the fabrics. This creative exercise was not a course assignment but a
chance to explore their design talents. The first place winner of the Mystery Fabric Contest is
Ping Mathre with inspiration of two different gowns: the wedding dress in the
2015 movie of Cinderella and Cate Blanchett’s seafoam Armani gown from the
2016 Oscars. Unknown fabrics in the mystery bundle that she chose, turned out
to be small pieces that were used for the flowers and to create the ruffles of
the petticoats.
