Smith offers fashion design competition

Chaney graduate and Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Brad Smith has launched “Design for Brad Smith,” a design competition for emerging U.S. fashion designers.

The competition asks designers to submit a complete red carpet look as a hand-drawn or digitally-created sketch. The winning look will be selected by Smith and a panel of fashion industry professionals, and produced by an experienced fashion production firm.

Smith will showcase the produced winning look on the red carpet before and after a press worthy Mercedes Benz Fashion Week (MBFW) event in February.

Submissions open on Jan. 2 at www.designforbradsmith.com.
