Ideation2015 challenges students to reinterpret vintage dresses

It is often said that history repeats itself, and the five finalists in the student fashion design competition at ideation2015 will be the first to affirm that. The design competition, which was hosted by Gerber Technology, challenged students to come up with a modern version of a dress of their own choice from the vintage Darnell Collection: a private-owned collection of around 8.000 pieces of clothing that were made between 1720 and the present day. After the runway show, which took place at Gerber´s annual software conference for the fashion, accessories and footwear industries, Brittney Castillo´s interpretation of a 1940s Balenciaga dress was named the winner.
