PINS AND NEEDLES X THE EMERGING SIX
It is our pleasure to announce the emerging six who will lead the Pins and Needles X fashion show in a soirée full of glamour at The Majorette on Thursday October 4 2018. Carter's Pins and Needles continues to assist with the success of emerging designers—whether just completing their degree, recently graduated, working on their first collection for retail sale or preparing for their first market and to create a platform for the designers to get exposed to the St. Louis fashion scene. For this year’s Pin and Needles emerging designers competition, the designers are going to create one look using fabric provided by KDR Showrooms. The designers will compete for a $10,000 Grand Prize and a People's Choice Award worth $500 that will be announced the end of the night.
Lily Guilder Design is for anyone who wishes to channel their inner Rockstar/ Glamour Queen/ Superhero/ Dapper Dude/ Iconoclastic self. The collection is comprised of limited edition ready to wear and one of a kind/ custom designed garments all created in Nashville. Designer Caitlin Stolley believes in the transformative power of clothing and uses fabric texture, layering and a variety of embellishment techniques to create garments with enhanced dimension, vibration, and danceability, each piece sprinkled with magic.
