Fashion Feud, Round 1
by Admin on Jan.18, 2011, under San Francisco Shopping
Last Tuesday I went to Fashion Feud with Elisabeth of Mission Closet.
Produced by the San Francisco Fashion and Merchant’s Alliance (SFFAMA), Fashion Feud is much like a real-life Project Runway, where the contestants (Crystal Hermann and Mary Yanez in Round 1) have an hour to create piece that will then be judged (note: I’m judging in Round 2! Scroll to the bottom for details). And did I mention they have no idea what fabric they get until they start?! I’ve been to Fashion Feud before, but what people are able to create in just an hour never ceases to amaze me.
Ready, Set, Go!

The Final Product (my camera died by this point so Elisabeth kindly provided the photos)
Crystal Hermann’s creation on the left; Mary Yanez’s on the right. Which one do you like better? Mary’s dress was ready for cocktail hour while Crystal’s tunic could easily be spotted in a street-style blog. In addition to the two judges, the crowd vote was compiled through a mobile app. Crystal won!
Fashion Feud Round 2 will take place at 7pm February 8th at the Rickshaw Stop. Come – because I will be judging!
