Project Runway Season 5 designer, Stephen Suede Baum has been busy with some very exciting projects.
1) I am out at Joann Fabrics Corp. headquarters in Kent, Ohio - not far from where I went to college - to judge their annual Prom Competition. This years grand prize award...... $50,000. WOW I don't know why we didn't enter that one...
2) Tomorrow, I'm off to to Chicago as a celebrity spokes person for a eCraft by Craftwell. The machine is used for home crafts and digitally laser cuts out signs, shapes etc.
I have been commissioned to create 3 garments out of unexpected materials using the machine to make the shapes.
Hmmmmm sounds like a project runway challenge.. hehehe
3) This is my most exciting news - I am signing next week a deal with Vogue Pattern Company to design SUEDEsays™ designed by Suede exclusively for McCall patterns looks that will be available in pattern form in 2011. Its a SUPER exciting project and in conjunction with Joann Fabric my first offering is going to be looks that can go from day to prom for the kids.
