I was contacted a couple of weeks ago by Leanne who has organized a contest for a fashion coat design. She is an activist and strict vegan and a beauty herself and has a passion for fashion and using Eco fair materials. Of course when someone praises your work you always want to rise to the occasion so I entered 3 designs in her Vaute Couture contest. I went out of a limb not with the intention of winning per se because they are actually going to create the winning designs. I designed each coat with prints that were specific to the cut of the garment. I think it makes for a fab illustration (actually if it could be affordably produced, a fab coat too!) so these are the designs that I sent. The top one, (in gray) and evening coat got an honorable mention. Yeah! You can actually go to the site at Vaute Couture and VOTE for the winning design. I haven't done it yet but I noticed the voting ends Monday so I need to today. BUT if I had to vote for a coat I would wear out of MY three entries that I would actually wear.....I think it would be the white pea coat with the embroidery. No wait, I take that back...it would be the mid length coat I am a sucker for a cute outfit, beret and tights included!
