PORTFOLIO

Designer Wear shows off your designer creativity.  You may model it or have someone model it for you.  This is the only category where ONLY the design is being judged, and not the model. The Designer of the outfit should be the one who is listed as the Entrant for this category. Whether it's a complete outfit or designer accessories, either can be used to reflect your talent and skills.

Casual wear is an expression of your every-day style.  These outfits should not have a lot of rhinestone work.  Think of it as something you would wear to the mall with a group of friends or simply to a fun event.

Party wear should be fun and make you feel excited and ready to have a wonderful time out with friends! Outfit may or may not have rhinestones.  This is your chance to show off your fun personality!

Formal Wear is a chance to show off your poise and elegance while catching the eye of everyone in the room!  Think glamorous and confident!  Any color is appropriate.  Select a dress that compliments your body, style, age, and personality.

High Fashion Wear allows you to think outside the box when it comes to fashion.  Let your creativity flow while modeling the outfit you feel expresses the real you!
