e is also a cash prize i m not sure if the amount varies each year a chance to design a collection for her universe hot topic and royalties from that collection what is the hu ht collection do you get your designs reproduced or get to choose the theme the collection is determined by hu ht based on their licensing agreement with an upcoming movie the 2021 winners designed items to come out in time for the 2022 jurassic world movie some past winners have designed star wars marvel and wonder woman items the collection is mean to be casual streetwear garments and are sold online at hu and in ht shops do you have to have a ticket to san diego comic con to apply no you do not need a sdcc ticket to participate in the show or come watch as an audience member the hufs is held at a hotel during sdcc but is a separate event finalists in the show are also often gifted a pass to sdcc do finalists have their costs covered no you are responsible for buying your own materials for your design and covering your own travel to san diego as stated above you do not need to pay for a sdcc ticket if you win and are invited back as a judge then your travel is comped for your subsequent trip is there an age limit you need to be at least 18 for hufs one year there was an affiliated junior design contest for minors but that was different from the main runway show there is no upper age limit and you don t have to be fresh out of design school there are people in the show in their 30s and 40s with established careers and or kids doing this for fun the contest is called the her universe fashion show are men allowed yes male designers are allowed to participate in past runway shows male designers submitted womenswear but during the 2021 virtual show the finalists could also present menswear designs do you have to model the clothing yourself no you can have a friend model the clothing if you don t want to wear it yourself and many designers prefer to hire a model for various reasons runway experience having a particular look in mind ease of fitting honoring a particular culture etc however many people also love modeling the clothing themselves it is up to you do you need to be a great fashion illustrator or submit professional drawings no the design sketches just need to be able to convey your vision clearly to the selection committee you are also allowed to include written descriptions and your sketch can be a collage that includes pics of fabric swatches etc you can also use your optional video to describe your design you are allowed to hire a pro artist or friend to polish up your designs as long as all the ideas are your own for example maybe you re not confident about rendering fabric or comfortable about your illustration skills you can have someone do your final sketches as long as they are not helping you design for myself i have submitted before using my own drawings and have also applied by having my drawings translated by costume illustrator emily hasty you can see below my original sketches and notes and the professional rendering by emily here is the sketch from emily i submitted as part of my hufs application what is the portfolio review at wondercon at wondercon a few months before sdcc and before the hufs application officially opens the her universe hot topic team will usually host a portfolio review at wondercon this is separate from the hu panel that consists of the past year s winners that will be judges for the year this is a chance for aspiring applicants to have a few minutes with some hu ht reps to get some quick feedback about their designs this is completely optional and is a nice bonus for anyone who s already attending wondercon who wants a second opinion but is not a requirement to enter the hu ht reps may or may not be the same people on the final selection committee is there another place to get feedback there is an unofficial facebook group called the workshop that is a support group consisting of many past finalists and people who are interested in applying it s a friendly place to ask questions or talk about your designs i also highly recommend you read the fantastic blog series so you think you can hufs an insider guide to the her universe fashion show by show veteran and previous winner kristi siedow thompson it s full of great information what is the hu panel you referred to at wondercon the panel consists of the previous year s winners and gives info on the upcoming show plus a sneak peak at the hu hot topic collection that is being released would you recommend participating absolutely i had a wonderful experience and the people involved in the show both organizing and participating were lovely the hu ht staff provided lots of guidance were available for questions and were really responsive prior to applying for the first time i had talked to previous finalists about the general vibe to see if hufs was something i wanted to join everyone i asked said that it was the type of show where people hyped each other up and helped each other backstage so please keep that atmosphere going if you participate since the 2021 show was virtual we had weekly zoom meetings hosted by hu and a private facebook group people were offering to help each other shop for materials in the la fabric district or mail spare supplies when online voting opened the participants were encouraging their followers to check out the other finalists as well it definitely felt more like a bunch of theatre kids banding together to put on a show rather than competitors in a pageant i am very grateful to have been part of this experience and am looking forward to being a judge this year and cheering all of you on 4 comments posted in other clothes star wars and tagged fashion design her universe fashion show hufs sewing the mandalorian bookmark the permalink my historical loki variant cosplay borgias inspired renaissance dress costume posted on january 6 2022 by freshfrippery i was making a borgias inspired renaissance dress and decided to lean into to the green gold color scheme and make it a historical loki variant costume i wanted a renaissance gown but being shiny and pretty was more important to me than historical accuracy so this isn t pegged to a specific decade but rather a look inspired by both the borgias hbo show and the character loki from the marvel cinematic universe the dress is made from beautiful green and gold shot raw silk suiting the bodice uses the same fabric but with a silk rayon organza burnout overlay and the lining is a black cotton canvas for structure rather than using a commercial pattern i frankensteined together math and modified pattern bits from previous costumes i made the bodice is a shorted version of the kirtle i previously made using help from the tudor tailor book amazon affiliate link i widened the shoulder straps and added some more seam allowance but it is otherwise generally the same the skirt is made of pleated rectangular panels each of the front and back are 1 5 panels wide with the seam hidden under the metallic jacquard trim the sleeves are basic sleeve shapes but cut a little loose to allow for the chemise underneath they are somewhat like tie on sleeves except instead of ribbons i sewed them at the meeting points with a glass pearl and some gold bead caps underneath the dress i wore a tudor chemise because that is what i had on hand it was also made using a pattern from the tudor tailor book however at a later point i d like to make a renaissance camicia with a different neckline and much fuller sleeves to puff out through the gaps in the green sleeve loki crown i bought the loki crown as 3d printed pieces from parton prints on etsy the horns come as separate pieces for ease of shipping and i glued them on using e6000 glue after a little sanding i used a primer that someone recommended to me for 3d printed plastics tamiya gray fine surface primer amazon affiliate link i finished up with two coats of rust oleum metallic spray paint in gold originally i used more e6000 to glue on a black elastic strap but decided to cut them off instead i used the nubs of those straps as an anchor point to sew on some gold necklace chains both as decorative dangling elements in the front and also as a visible gold band across the back to hold the crown on i am wearing a wavy black wig from amazon affiliate link under the crown i wish my hair was that luxurious the necklace is a secondhand ebay find and here is a video of the dress in action freshfrippery my historical loki variant renaissance lokizia

tagged borgias cosplay costume historical loki loki variant renaissance sewing silk bookmark the permalink shawl with surprise hood pattern and tutorial posted on december 31 2021 by freshfrippery winter is here and i wanted a cute and cozy accessory that was a nice shawl but also a surprise hood and scarf i made this out of a wool knit jersey but other soft fabrics with a bit of drape would work as well i added some pompom trim for whimsy but that is optional this surprise hood would work well untrimmed or finished with decorative stitching or other touches this was inspired by victorian mantelets with front lappets knit sontags chic old hollywood head scarves and modern cozy note i am a member of the janome maker program and this project was sewn on a janome skyline s9 this post is sponsored by janome but all content and opinions are mine what you will need soft fabric with drape wool jersey lightweight cable knit rayon challis lightweight wool suiting etc the yardage depends on how wide your fabric is i used 1 5 yards of a 58 wide fabric by alternating the wide and narrow ends of the pattern pieces while cutting thread scissors chalk pins optional 5 yards pompom ball fringe trim lace rickrack etc drafting the pattern don t worry if you don t have any pattern drafting experience i ve broken it down into squares rectangles triangles so if you have a ruler you can draw these shapes start with these basic geometric shapes i find it is easiest to draw the square first then the rectangle then the triangle on a large piece of paper it doesn t have to be fancy or special drafting paper a roll of gift wrap works great next draw the curves indicated in red on the diagram then discard the shaded areas now you have your pattern that you can cut out of paper and use to trace onto your fabric this includes 1 2 inch seam allowance you can add more when cutting out your fabric if you want your shawl a little wider or are skipping any trim construction cut out 4 identical pieces of fabric 2 will be the fashion layer and 2 will be the lining if you want you can use a different fabric for the lining but then the hood will be a different fabric when flipped up sew the center back seam of the 2 fashion pieces together repeat for the lining layer press the seams flat put the fashion and lining layers right sides together if you plan to use pompom trim or lace this is the time to sandwich your trim in between the two layers as shown with the edges flush this is so that the pompom balls are inside when sewing the edges but will be on the outside when the shawl is flipped right side out you will have trim everywhere except the neckline if you are using rickrack instead of sandwiching it in the layers you should sew it to the fashion layer before it is attached to the lining sew all along the outer edges of the shawl except for the neckline as shown in the earlier image turn the right sides out through the opening in the neckline exposing the pompom trim fold in the raw edges of the neckline and topstitch closed right now you will have a long flat piece as shown below the ends are folded in so i could fit everything in the photo pleat the neckline area up to where the pompoms start to fit the curve of your neck the finished curved area should cover the back half of your neck if you have a dress form handy an easy way to determine how to do the pleats is to pin the center back seam to the center back of the form pin where the pompom trim starts to the shoulder point on the form then pleat using the neck of the form as a guide to keep the pleats in place stitch down the pleats over the previous topstitch line either by machine or by hand optional use one of the embroidery stitches to add some extra decorative details to your shawl some ideas include using a continuous stitch along the edges of the shawl or putting a monogram on the tails you can also do a decorative stitch along the edge after the shawl is sewn rather than using pompom trim these examples are under the decorative stitch menu on my janome skyline s9 how to wear this can be worn multiple ways wear the draped back and front tails down as a shawl pull up the draped back over your head as a hood with the tails in front or pushed behind your shoulders wrap one or two front tails around your neck like a scarf combine 2 and 3 for a chic hooded scarf
