Voltage: Fashion Amplified 2010 Runway Designer Application Extended to Friday October 16th

Due to the holiday on Monday, and the Voltage App 2010 announcement getting lost in the mayhem of Fall Fashion Week, we have extended the deadline to this Friday October 16th.

WHAT IS NEW WITH VOLTAGE THIS YEAR?
Behind the scenes, Voltage: Fashion Amplified is a design incubator, working with promising designers with innovative and exciting clothing lines looking to take their business to the next level. Each year, Voltage works to address current needs in the fashion design community.

This year, MNfashion is in phase one of development of a Sewing Cooperative that will be a future manufacturing resource and source of education and employment for the design community.

*Designers selected for Voltage 2010 will work with our development team individually to create a small volunteer-based production team based on their defined needs.
*Accessories designer application will be available in October 2009. Voltage Runway designers will work with the Voltage Styling Team to select an accessory designer to work with.
*In late January 2009, MNfashion is producing an invite-only event for regional buyers and press to preview and to place orders for Spring. (Both runway and accessory designers are involved)
*Voltage: Fashion Amplified will be in April 2010 to coincide with the release of each designer’s Spring 2010 line at Spring MNfashion Week. Collections will be available at the event.
*There will be 10 runway designers, 10-12 accessory designers and 5 band designers chosen for
Voltage 2010.
*Bands will be announced in October. If you are not selected for the runway, you can re-apply to be a band stylist/designer. Band designers will not be required to produce a line for Spring MNfashion Week, although it is an option.
