PRODUCT RUNWAY


Garment Label Registration has ended  


ASID Industry and Chapter Partners, who can supply product samples for use in the creation of a runway garment, can register to participate in Product Runway as a Garment Label Sponsor.  Each sponsor will choose to be labeled as a HARD or SOFT goods provider.  Once a HARD or SOFT category has been chosen, each sponsor can provide two (2) different product lines within that category.  Each registered design team will be randomly paired with one (1) HARD goods sponsor and one (1) SOFT goods sponsor.  There is NO COST for ASID Industry and Chapter Partners to register as a Garment Label Sponsor, however, Garment Label Sponsors will work with a design team to share about available products and subsequently provide the selected materials to be used in the garment’s fabrication.  There are twenty (20) Garment Label Sponsorships available: ten (10) HARD and ten (10) SOFT.  Each Garment Label Sponsor will be provided one (1) complimentary general admission ticket to the event.

Design teams will be randomly paired with one HARD GOOD and one SOFT GOOD Garment Label Sponsor. The final garment must contain a minimum of 80% of materials (mix of hard and soft goods) supplied by the Garment Label Sponsors. The remaining 20% can be additional materials, decided upon by the design team, as needed.  Teams also have the option to modify the color of their materials by method of paint, dying, etc. The design teams may ‘self-fund’ up to $100 to purchase supplemental materials: closures, accessories, thread, etc. All garments must be designed and made by the participating design team members; no outsourcing is allowed.


In addition to designing/creating a garment, each team is required to create a supporting small item/prop for the garment. This item needs to stand alone without the garment and must contain at least 50% of materials (mix of hard and soft goods) supplied by the Garment Label Sponsors. At the end of the runway show, these items/props will be auctioned off as a fundraiser for the selected local charities.


A virtual PAIRING EVENT will take place on June 17th to establish each team’s theme and to pair each team with a HARD and SOFT sponsor.  Each registered Design Team and registered Garment Label Sponsor must have a representative present. 


  • Via computer program, teams will be randomly assigned a placement for selection of one of the 10 themes listed on the first page of this document.  In order from 1-10, teams will select their theme to use as their basis of design.  Each theme will only be used ONCE.  As team theme selection progresses, teams will choose from the remaining available options.
  • Via computer programs, teams will be randomly paired with a hard goods and a soft goods sponsor.
