Project Accessory Season 1-Challenge 6: "Kenneth Cole"

Project Accessory Challenge
The designers were asked to design accessories for the Kenneth Cole Holiday Collection. They each were assigned an outfit from the collection that they needed to accessorize with a clutch and an accessory of their choice. The challenge asked them to incorporate their style but to also create something that fits with the aesthetic of the Kenneth Cole brand. The winner was awarded having their items produced by Kenneth Cole and sold in the Holiday Collection.

EtsyMetal Challenge
For this weeks challenge, create an accessory of your choice that goes with one of the outfits given to the designers from the Kenneth Cole Collection. It must still fit your own personal style but accessible enough to be part of the Kenneth Cole brand.


And the creations...

Here's my entry for the Kenneth Cole challenge- it should go nicely with any of his clothes- it's black and modern.

Panicmama Jewelry

Zen Circle with black onyx dagger bullet dangles, sterling silver. 32" long chain that converts to 16" length. I wanted something dramatic but versatile. Black, of course, to go with the Kenneth Cole image.

Project Accessory Challenge
The designers were asked to design accessories for a red carpet evening gown. They each chose a gown from the choices. The challenge asked them to bring their signature style to make statement accessories to compliment the gowns they chose. They were taken to a store in NYC called Evolution. The store was filled with insect specimens. Each contestant was to choose an insect for the inspiration to their challenge. The insect had to be used in at least one of the accessories. TWO designers were eliminated in this challenge to bring the final three to the seasons final show next week.

EtsyMetal Challenge
For this weeks challenge, create an accessory or two of your choice that goes with one of the gowns chosen by the designers from the show. It must fit your own personal style but use an insect or bug as inspiration. If you have a few bugs laying around, by all means, use them!

Now go be creative!
