CONSTRVCT Design Contest Winners!
We received over 2,000 entries to our design contest 2 weeks ago, and it certainly was tough to pick just a couple winners from all the fabulous designs. Our judges have made their decisions, and here they are! *drumroll please*
(Each winner receives a $250 gift card at constrvct.com)
Jaime Derringer of Design Milk selected this leggings design, ROOKERY I, by infinite:
“I was not expecting that I would have chosen leggings, but there is something about the design of these that appeals to me. They look like lace stockings, but they’re actually architecture, which I love. ” — Jaime
Rachel Arthur of WGSN selected this design, DUSK TO DAWN FITTED SILK DRESS by kitsumma
“This print reminded me so much of some of my favourite looks from Mary Katrantzou’s autumn/winter 2013/14 collection - it’s digital artwork, a beautifully natural photo-real piece, and a highly wearable garment all rolled into one. I also love the placement on the fitted silk dress, and how it comes together all the darker at the back. Kitsmumma in general blew me away with all of their submissions, from this Dusk to Dawn item, to the Australian Native, Black Bird and Sunday Drive pieces - it was nearly impossible to choose.” —Rachel
Bruce Sterling selected this design by coun5440
We also have 2 honorable mentions. Honorable mentions will receive a $50 gift card at constrvct.com
IMPOSSIBLE DECADE :: SLEEVELESS by gomihouse
DORTHE’S DRESS by alyzenmoonshadow
Rachel wrote about alyzen’s design: “This dress grabbed my attention for the fact at first glance it looked like a computer circuit board of some description - green in background and lit up with activity. Its ‘space’ tag threw me in a different direction again however, as did a closer view at what is actually a reworked photo of trees and their branches. All in, it’s a piece of artwork that ties so perfectly with what’s happening in visual trends at the moment - a move to increasingly manipulated images, adding filters, dissecting, deconstructing, distorting, interweaving, tearing apart, stripping back and multi-layering. This doctoring is the key focus of WGSN’s autumn/winter 2014/15 macro trend, Rendering Reality, which is affecting the way we think about design, causing us to question the value of “real” and “authentic” scenarios and products.”
Great work everyone!
