GRAND PRIZE 4
$1,331
BQ Runway (European vs. All American) "Harlem Renaissance"
Tonight, we transport you to the vibrant era of the Harlem Renaissance (roughly 1918-1937) a transformative cultural, social, and artistic movement that bodly celebrated Black identity and culture. We are looking for your inspired interpretations of two distinct satorial expressions from this pivotal period. (European): Showcase the sophisticated elegance of the era with formal suits, including tuxedos. Think traditional tailoring: a meticulously crafted jacket, a crisp waistcoat (vest), and impeccably tailored trousers. (All American): Embody the flamboyant self-expression and cultural pride of the american scene with a zoot suit. This iconic style is defined by its oversized wide-shouldered jacket, high-waisted trousers, and often features a long coat draped dramatically over the arm. (Non legends vs. Legends)
