The Runway brief for Nailympia Orlando
19 May 2023 | News
THEME: Dame Vivienne Westwoood
Vivienne Westwood was at the heart of British fashion since she began selling her punk-inspired designs in Malcom McLaren’s influential Kings Road store, Sex, in the 1970s. The Dame of the British Empire revolutionised what is deemed appropriate to wear in public. Think punk & new wave fashions. Breaking boundaries & openly expressing yourself. Brief By @jenniennails
The Rules:
- Mood Board submission – not a floor competition – hand in to the organizer or mail in prior to dates below.
- Competitors must design 3 different nail designs they feel will enhance, accessorize & interpret the brief.
- The 3 tips must be displayed in a simple way with a short explanation or visual sketch of how the designs fit the brief on a mood board.
- The mood board must be flat with no edges (not a box/not 3D) and must not exceed the size of A4 (8×12”). Foam board or cardboard are recommended to keep the board sturdy. Nails must be adhered to this board.
- Competitors may use ANY suitable materials that do not necessarily have to be nail products or can be a mixture of nail products and other materials. There are no restrictions on the creation of these 3 nails.
- The designs must be reasonably easy and quick to reproduce (100s would need to be made for a fashion show).
- Note that the main focus of a fashion show is the designer’s collection. Nails can be a ‘statement’ accessory, but should not overshadow the complete look.
- Nails at a fashion show are photographed close up for detailed beauty shots and should be visible from the runway as part of the complete look. The designs should be suitable for both of these situations.
- The finished nail designs should include suitable shape and length.
The organizer will keep hold of all entries for display on the arena and for photographic purposes until the event closes.
It is possible to send your entry in via mail, courier or with another tech if you can’t be at the event in person. Mailed in entries must be RECEIVED into Premiere’s office.
