Project Runway Auction Supports Young Survivors
Anyone watch Project Runway? For those of you who don’t, it’s a reality show where contestants are actually talented “unknown” fashion designers competing for the opportunity to show at New York’s Fashion Week. Their competitions involve making clothing suitable for the catwalk.
Well, in January of 2008, the season’s sixth episode aired, and the contestants’ mentor Tim Gunn challenged them to design a dress made from materials gathered during a five minute shopping spree at the Hershey’s Times Square store.
The image to the right is the winning contestant’s exact winning design. And now, it’s available for auction exclusively on projectrunway.com and to benefit the Young Survival Coalition. YEAH!
Keep in mind, the dress is tailored to fit the model and might have unfinished edges due to the nature of the challenge and is sold “AS IS.” Item ships May 2008. HERSHEY’S auction ends March 18, 2008.
Again, here’s a direct link to the auction page. Let me know if you’re going to bid on anything!

Karen,
I LOVE that show! I am addicted! I saw that episode with Hersheys to make that dress and thought it was awesome that they were going to do an auction with proceeds to the YSC.
Go Project Runway!
