Suzy Amis Cameron (wife of Titanic director James Cameron) is calling all designers for the Red Carpet Green Dress design competition.
Through January 22, 2010, designers are challenged to create a red carpet-worthy gown made of natural/organic or sustainable materials. In addition, they are encouraging the designers to estimate their carbon footprints when creating their clothing lines.
The designs that are submitted will be reviewed and one will be chosen by Suzy Amis Cameron. The winner will have their design made by Academy Award winning Costume Designer Deborah Scott (who just so happened to dress the cast of Titanic as well as Wild Wild West, The Patriot and the upcoming film Avatar) and worn by Amis Cameron on an awards red carpet between February and March 2010. In addition, winner will get a trip to Los Angeles to consult with Scott on the design. They will also get a four-night stay at the Fairmont Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica; receive a private VIP tour of MUSE Elementary; and meet with Amis Cameron and her husband James Cameron.
