Couture 2016 blurs the line between Interior Design and Fashion – by using architectural finish materials to create original couture creations. Earlier this year, we randomly matched approximately (27) teams of both Student and Professional Interior Designers with two Vendors/Manufacturers (a company which typically provides materials in the Interior Design industry – such as carpet or fabric or tile) - one "hard" and one "soft" - and gave them a decade of inspiration. They were then to use any of the colors from the Sherwin Williams COLORMIX 2016 Color Forecast to create their own unique “Couture” fashion – with the sole use of the assigned manufacturer’s material. The real fun comes when they model their fashion on the Couture 2016 runway – competing against their peers and showing off their creativity!
The Couture event has been described as outrageous, highly conceptual, laughable, risqué, political, silly – and most of all – FUN! This year’s Couture will be just as enjoyable. Teams and the garments they create are judged on creativity, use of materials supplied by their assigned manufacturers, craftsmanship, use of the colors within the color forecast, and overall enthusiasm.
