How To… An Intro to the Folio About Us FAQ
Costume-Cons and most other venues that have the folio contest will then have a Future Fashion Design Show to feature constructed designs from the folio book.
Designers always have first rights to pick their own designs. (Also occasionally, a designer will request that a design not be made up.) While Designers do not have to be members of Costume-Con to enter the design contest, anyone who wants to show a sewn creation MUST be a member.
Not all costumes in the folio can be made up. Some designs require materials and techniques that will not exist until hundreds of years in the future. Others are for alien shapes we can’t fake easily!
One of the most amazing things about a design contest is seeing things you ‘knew’ could not be made up walk, slide or crawl across the stage. Different costume artists bring their wide collection of skills to bear to present some amazing images of the future.
One of the best places to see designs from past years is the Costume-Con.org web site. Search the Visual Gallery for the letters ‘FS’ or for a specific Costume-Con event (CC25-FS) and the website will display images from that event. Most Costume-Cons have pictures from their Fashion Shows.
