After an intensive two month search, Nolcha in conjunction with Blazetrak.com announces the winner in their competition for the best independent fashion brand: womenswear designer, Abreu Rios (www.abreurios.com).
Nolcha and Blazetrak (both clients of AMP3 PR) had partnered to host a contest that would ultimately give one aspiring designer the opportunity of a lifetime to participate in Nolcha Fashion Week: New York in February 2011. From November 17th, 2010 through January 17th, 2011; fashion designers from all over the world were invited to enter this online competition. By submitting pictures of their best work through Blazetrak, designers were guaranteed a review by Nolcha’s team, and potentially, the career opportunity of a lifetime.
“It was a tough choice,” says Nolcha’s CEO, Kerry Bannigan, “However, Abreu Rios was chosen for several key factors: the brand’s use of color is innovative, subtle and effective. The cuts and finish are precise and overall the brand has great marketability. I look forward to assisting the brand growth.”
Thanks to the contest, Abreu Rios is now entitled to complimentary exhibition space at Nolcha Fashion Week; a two-hour consultation regarding target, retailers, supply chain, breakeven and scale of the line by Global Purchasing Group; free membership to Afingo.com plus featured spotlight and interview; a complete business formation package by Bizfilings.com; and a sourcing package that includes premium level membership to Source4Style, including complimentary swatches and sourcing consultation.
“We are so excited for Abreu,” states Nate Casey, managing partner and co-founder of Blazetrak.com, “This is what Blazetrak is all about; connecting people and helping to launch careers in every industry – including Fashion.”
