The winner of the design competition is announced at the Fashion Showcase that also spotlights the latest apparel from new, established and celebrity designers. Accessory design competition Judge Jeanette Chivvis mentions, "I try to stay focused on the marketability of the product, value, target demographic and the need or saturation of a certain product and deliver guidance and direction based on those criteria."
