Announcing: Project Dollway



Project Dollway is the first worldwide search for The World's Top Doll Fashion Designer and only made possible by the Internet.

Designers from around the globe submitted portfolios of their work and twelve International designers were selected to compete in challenges that involved the leading fashion dolls manufactured by major doll companies. Each challenge features a different doll and the actual doll designer is a guest judge.

Project Runway season three designer Robert Best is the lead judge of this competition which should be a lot of fun and of great interest to many of our readers.

Click here for the official website.

Here is the blog.

Here is the chat room.

BPRs, please join our friends Ted Menten and Robert Best and cheer the doll designers on.

Also at EW.com - a gallery of the season four designers along with comments from Tim. Thanks Rachel, Frank and Sabrina.

Before you click on the link - how about trying to match up the designer with the quote from Tim....

1. "A fashion prodigy"

2. "Dogged, determined, tenacious."

3. "... very serious, sometimes too much so. I feel like delivering that Nina Garcia line, 'Lighten up! It's just fashion!'"

4. "[Her aesthetic] is girly, flirtatious; not unlike Betsey Johnson and Diane von Furstenberg, she's her own muse."

5. "Designers design. If you can design a house, you can design fashion. If you can design a table setting, you can design fashion."

6. "She's had a lot of experience with clothes, so she knows what looks good. She's a risk taker, which I applaud, but it also means you're at risk."

7. "...understands construction — lingerie is all about the details, so he has that sensibility."

8. "The real success or failure of the challenge happens [during fabric shopping] at Mood. [Her] textile aptitude is just especially well honed."

9. "He can infuse clothes with whimsy, some Schiaparelli-like wit. But where's the line between fashion and costume?"

10. Big personality alert: "Let me put it this way — if everyone were [her], I would've run for the hills!"

11. "He's very adept at tailoring, which is certainly needed in womenswear." Bonus: "He's charismatic, funny, and incredibly likable."

12. "Her conflict was, Is this fashion or wearable art? She really wanted to debate that. You'll see it on the runway and in the workroom."

13. "His presence is like Cassie on A Chorus Line, like 'I can dance circles around these people.' Guess what? The others are really good."

14. For the biker (she used to ride with Hell's Belles) and rabid Sonny and Cher fan: "It's always a matter of who she's going to be for this challenge."

15. "He could pierce the tension in the workroom with his levity. Sometimes I'd say, '... don't you have anything funny to say?'"
