Couture Jeweler, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds to judge MOCA Cleveland Fashion Competition

CLEVELAND - April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- On Friday, April 19, 2013, couture jeweler Michelle Pajak-Reynolds will serve as a judge for Project MOCA: A Cinematic Fashion Competition from 7:00-10:00pm at MOCA Cleveland 11400 Euclid Ave, Cleveland Ohio 44106.

Fellow judges include Anne Van Hauwaert, Belgian fashion designer and owner of Anne Van H. Boutique in Cleveland, and Deanna Turcotte, Project MOCA 2012 winner.

Project MOCA, an experimental runway event, based loosely on the reality TV show Project Runway, will feature new looks inspired by MOCA's current exhibitions by students from Cleveland Institute of Art, Kent State University, and Virginia Marti College. The competition requires selected students to create looks that consider the influence and interplay of cinema and performance on fashion and femininity. Each look must include an element of high contrast. These ambitious designs will be unveiled to the audience and a panel of fashion experts, Anne Van Hauwaert, Michelle Pajak-Reynolds, and Deanna Turcotte, who will jury the designs and select one winner to receive a monetary award and public display of their work. New this year, the audience also will vote on a fan favorite, who will receive a special prize.

Doors open at 7:00pm for cocktails, mingling, and shopping. The runway show will begin at 8:00pm
