Also, point of contention, we all know that pixar has been ripping us off for years but until now we had no proof. This trailer, hastily created and released after FSHNDL V was announced but before the event itself, proves once and for all the presence of a mole. Your thoughts?

FSHNDL V: RECAP

Tsdy Nov.25.2008 7:32pm | by L. Bodeep

A big thanks to everyone who came out to Williamsburg last night for FSHNDL V. As those of you who were there already know, Love Brigade and Hannah Shaw built dresses from scratch out of balloons, but Hannah really killed it. Those who saw the final product making its loving embrace of her model are already better, more design-minded members of society simply for witnessing it. (Even that dude in the inflatable horse costume.)

Another big thanks to Hannah, Alyssa, Jamie and Tiny Pants, our judges Steven Alan and Natalia Rachlin (and our…

FSHNDL V TALENT: HANNAH SHAW

We’re pleased to introduce Hannah Shaw as one of designers appearing in FSHNDL V next Monday.

Hannah is a clothing designer who approaches dressmaking as both a craft and an art form. She draws inspiration from juxtapositions — industrial and refined, organic and technological — to creates pieces that express themselves as garments when worn while still maintaining sculptural integrity. As hannahshawdesigns.com puts it, her “silhouettes are completely unique, edgy, yet classic.”

Hannah’s first collection was developed for her Division 3 project at Hampshire. Since graduating in 2007, Hannah has become manager…

Uh Oh… It’s Time For FSHNDL V

Wdnsdy Sep.24.2008 6:03pm | by Neil Bolton

That’s right… we’re throwing our 5th annual timed fashion competition this October in Manhattan. Two designers enter a ring of fire to fight off a minotaur while designing couture on the fly. The losing designer will be thrown into a spike pit filled with snakes while LVHRD members pour boiling oil into the pit. This is all assuming we can get the permits.

Well… that’s about all the details we can give out right now pending permit approval. So we made these totally awesome promotional videos to keep you interested while…
