St. Louis-area fashion designers, students, hair stylists, make-up artists, and fashion merchandisers coming together to create something beautiful. This is Fashion Anarchy.
Fashion Anarchy by Brainchild Events gives emerging, local designers a platform to showcase their inspiration, innovation and creativity in front of St. Louis media, shoppers, educators, established designers and other industry professionals. We cultivate a competitive fashion atmosphere and provide a foundation for fashion designers, merchandising professionals and the beauty industry locally and regionally. As one of the main supporters of local designers in St. Louis for 12 years, Brainchild Events and Fashion Anarchy aim to educate our audience on the design process—from inspiration to rack—and make St. Louis the next fashion capital.
Established in 2019, Fashion Anarchy gives designers an outlet to show how creative they can be under pressure. Each designer uses a team of hair stylists and makeup artists and are provided with fabric and a theme. Designers are given just 48 hours to complete their projects, which puts them in a deadline-driven environment that pushes them to expand their creativity and think on their feet.
The Event
Participants will be given 48-hours for each event to create one look based on a concept/theme, fabric and hair/makeup team given to the designer. Each Fashion Anarchy preliminary Live-Stream event will consist of three designers. The winner of each event will advance to the final in November.
Fashion Anarchy is the sequel to Pins and Needles Designer Competition (2008-2018) and continues to put more focus on creating an industry atmosphere which will help the designer advance in their career.
Dates:
1. July - 1st Round [July 30 ] - Live Stream
2. August - 2nd Round [August 25 ] - Live Steam
3. November – FINAL COMPETITION [November TBD] - Onsite
New Information Coming Soon!
