Natalie Rye, a 2017 graduate with a degree in Fashion Retailing, won the Fall 2016 Mood Tote Design Challenge sponsored by Mood Fabrics in New York. Mood Designer Fabrics, with stores in New York City and Los Angeles, was made famous on the hit television show Project Runway. The national design competition was open to all persons 18 years and older and was promoted through Mood Fabrics' social media channels.
Natalie submitted a design featuring the store's official mascot, Swatch the dog, wearing a pair of blue sunglasses. The public was invited to vote for their favorite design via 'likes' on Facebook. Natalie's design made it through two rounds of voting to emerge the winner! Natalie retains ownership of her design for other purposes and the tote bag is available for purchase on the Mood Fabrics website. They have since used her design to promote the next design challenge.
