Project Funway: A Local Vail Event
Have you heard of “Project Funway?”
Project Funway is a local Vail Valley event that celebrates fashion and design in a very unique way: “This unconventional fashion event challenges amateur designers to create unique garments out of anything but fabric and send them down a runway to be critiqued by expert judges.”
And, the best part, it’s put on by local Education Foundation of Eagle County – E•ƒ(ec) – and all proceeds help fund E•ƒ(ec)’s mission “to support education and intellectual and emotional needs of students, especially focusing on school-based enrichment programs, mental health services, and efforts to recognize and retain top teacher talent.”
A local fashion event in our very own Vail Valley that is a fundraiser for a worthy cause, as well as bursting with creativity. Now that’s an event we can stand behind!
Being huge fans of fashion and design ourselves, we love seeing what Project Funway has in store. The 2019 event just took place a couple weeks ago and the designs from this year did not disappoint. The designers came up with some amazing pieces and we certainly noted the endless flow of inspired creativity. And, remember, they are all made out of anything BUT fabric!
Below is a selection of some of our personal favorites:
