CHALLENGE 6: CBR FASHION WEEK

Good morning, designers! Welcome to the Runway. The hard part has just begun.

Your challenge for CBR Fashion Week is to design a five-piece line for the Mighty Avengers: Wasp, Giant-Man, Thor, Hawkeye, and Scarlet Witch. Each piece of your line should reflect the individualitiy of the character for whom you are designing, however the entire line should show a definite cohesion, clearly showing these characters as part of a team.

CBR Fashion Week Submission Requirements

Each character design should be submitted separately -- no group shots.
Artwork may be done in any medium but should be in color. In other words, if you submit a black-and-white drawing the costume must be black and white.
Each piece of artwork may be no larger than 550-pixels wide and 800-pixels long.
Entries must be inserted into your post, as opposed to attached, using such services as Photobucket.com or imageShack.com. If you are unable to use such a service you may e-mail your entry and we will host the image for you for the duration of the competition.
All submissions should include a brief description of the costume, explaining, to the best of your ability, material, functionality, design inspiration, etc.

You have only twelve days, through Midnight PDT of Sunday, August 27, to post your five designs within this thread. Failure to fully complete this challenge will result in immediate elimination from CBR Project Runway. There will be no extensions or exceptions.

Post any questions, comments, or concerns about this challenge in this thread, however please do not comment on submissions until the voting thread is posted on Monday, August 28.

Designers, make it work!

Can we submit individual illustrations and in addition add a group shot? I was thinking that might show the throughline that ties the designs together.

Affinity · 08-16-2006, 12:10 PM

WOW!

Thank god I didn't join. :p

Looking SO forward to the end of this! Good luck to everyone!!

Sure, you can add a group shot in addition to your individual designs.

Wow! Maybe it's a good thing I got eliminated. I don't know if I'd have time for this! Good luck, guys.

Damn, I can't wait to see these.

Nice idea, Bibby.

Based on what's been submitted so far during CBRunway I think some of the finalists might have a problem with attempting to submit polished artwork, as opposed to dealing with the time constraints and submitting passsable designs. I'm excited to see all of the redesigns myself.

Good choice on toning down the number of characters in the entry (though I wanted to see redesigned Captain America. Ah well, maybe next season?) I'm most interested in the redesigns for Thor and Hawkeye this round.

Words cannot express how relieved I am that Captain America ISN'T one of the characters. I was dreading trying to come up with something for him.

Some characters don't NEED to be redesigned.

You know what Project CBRunway lacks that Project Runway has? The little cutaway interviews when the designers talk about how everything seems to be falling apart around them and their designs have taken on a life of their own and are evil and want to destroy the world.

Just sayin'.

Affinity · 08-20-2006, 06:13 PM

Aw, I was so excited that you got your designs up, atoning. I was like, "OMG!" and raced in here.

Judges would be cool (like selected people) but I know it's annoying if you're not a part of it and just get to watch.

But Matt, can't you change it from ANNUALLY to, like, two a year..ly..?

Overkill. Kind of like how they start having two seasons of Amazing Race in a year and it burns itself out.

On that note, one week to get your designs in!

Affinity · 08-21-2006, 04:04 PM

Lol, okay. Makes sense.

ONE WEEK! Totally hyped.
