Seamless in Seattle
Readers Choice winner Eunice Poon, "i dream in cake."
The top six winners of yet another fashion competition--Seattle Magazine's Seamless in Seattle Contest--have been selected, and they're pretty familiar to us, here at Seattlest. You've seen, or should we say read about, some of them before in our previous coverage of the Art Institute and New York Fashion Academy spring fashion shows. Finalists presented their collections to a team scrutinizing judges organized by Seattle Magazine, and left one category open for viewers to decide online, won by Eunice Poon for her "i dream in cake."
Winners will be featured in a glossy photoshoot in Seattle Magazine and will exhibit their lines at Fashion First in September.

Last year's inaugural Seamless in Seattle Competition featured five categories, though the subjects have changed a bit. Last year all five winners were students from the New York Fashion Academy, but this year Seattle Magazine added a student-specific category and also included a "Reader's Choice" Award. This year two winners, Renee Corrick and Jessica Milton, are from NYFA; Euncie Poon and Kolt Putnam are from the Art Institute; and Becky Sullivan is from Seattle Central Community College. Congratulations, winners!
