Heaven'S Favored Son: Young Designer Under 17 Years Old

Although most of the former champions of the adult version have already launched their own product lines, they have set up boutiques.

However, the ratings of the overpass adult edition have dropped from 5 million to 2 million. Another fashion reality show, the national super model competition, has dropped from 6 million in the first quarter to 1 million.

It is also a question whether the youth version can surge.

The Project Runway, the reality TV show, has decided to launch a teenage version, called Project RunwayJunior.

Between 14 and 17 years of age, if you have several decent works, you have enthusiasm for fashion design, and are residents of the United States, or at least you can get visa questions during the recording period, then you can sign up.

The first stage will be launched this fall, but there is no definite date for the announcement.

Although the reality show is not as rigorous as the designer's competition, there are still certain requirements for the participants.

For example, we need to provide visual presentation of 3 to 10 pieces of design work, including the finished product drawings, design sketches, inspiration sources, design details, such as what materials are used and interesting tailoring methods.

In addition, you need to submit photos (naturally), 3 to 5 minutes.

Including personal introduction and passion for fashion.

The achievements and future goals, the favorite designers and so on will show the creativity and passion of the participants.

But in the final analysis, this is a reality show, so showing personal charm is an important element.

The program flow is similar to the adult version: more than ten designers are selected to participate in reality shows. They use non traditional clothing materials to make clothes, design clothes for specific people, make special thematic costumes, or make product designs for garment companies. Finally, they will win a champion, get bonus, fashion magazines interview and fashion company contracts.

The youth version is hosted by the chief designer Tim Gunn (TimGunn), and the model HannahDavis will replace the original Heidi Klum.

The jury was run by designer ChristianSiriano, fashion magazine Cosmopolitan, fashion editor AyaKanai, fashion editor Nina Garcia, of course, she was a member of the jury from reality TV program in 2004, and JoannaColes, editor of Cosmopolitan, is the head of the jury.

We may be surprised that for 14 to 17 years of age, what channels can they get from teenagers?

Education.

Most of the clothing design education in China is completed in vocational schools and higher education, and the age is mostly greater than 14-17 years of age.

However, the clothing industry in Europe and America is relatively perfect in China, and young people are interested in choosing short or long term design courses in special training institutions - and the Chinese tend to be over 22 years old, and the age of European and American students is mostly under the age of 18.
