OSCARS® DESIGNER CHALLENGE 2010


On Tuesday, nine fashion designers competed for the chance to have their creation worn on stage by one of the Awards escorts during the 82nd. Academy Awards on Sunday March 7.
Oscar Fashion coordinator Patty Fox and a advisory committee selected the designers and paired them with Los Angeles-based models, one of whom will wear the public's favorite gown as she brings Oscar statuettes onto the stage of the Kodak Theatre in Oscar Night®.
 The designers participating in in the Oscars Designers Challenger 2010 are Fernanda Carneiro with a black chiffon mermaid gown with lace insets; Elda De La Rosa with a blue-and-gold iridescent silk taffeta gown with hand pleated folds; Ivy Higa with a Apricot silk chiffon asymmetrical pleated Grecian gown; Phong Hong, with a gold silk charmeuse hand braided asymmetrical goddess gown; Raina Salibi with a black laser cut leather gown with bubble drape skirt;  Oday Shakar with a metallic french lace one shoulder gown with Swarosky crystals; Ari Sheumelian with a black ombre tulle strapples twisters gown; Oliver Tolentino with an Ivory pineapple and abaca fiber mermaid gown with freshwater pearl detai and Kelsy Zimba with a silver-blue duchess satin gown with pleated bodice.
