$10,000 DESIGN CONTEST!

"The design challenge we're posing is a fashion transformation unlike any other, we're taking an iconic accessory—the birth control case—and asking aspiring designers to take a shot at redesigning it into a chic, more sophisticated carrying case that they could slip into their purses."- Nina Garcia
Are you a future style star in the making? Nina Garcia, of Elle magazine and Project Runway fame, is working in collaboration with Step Up Women's Network and Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals to redesign the classic birth control case. They're enlisting emerging design talent to help! I would personally like to see a case that looks like a gold plated compact, but that might just be too expensive to mass produce...
Submit your designs by June 30, 2008 for a chance to win the $10,000 prize. The prize will be used for enrollment in design classes or for the purchase of special design materials and software. Winners will be announced around the time of Fashion Week in fall 2008. For more information, check out the contest page here or here. Good luck!
