Title sponsorship received for Emerging Designer Competition of Baltimore Fashion Week

Feb. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- Although Baltimore Fashion Week is known for its runway production, it is now becoming a talked about caveat with the return of its Emerging Designer Competition (EDC).  The EDC is proving itself within the fashion community and will be returning again for 2013 for an encore performance in one lucky designer’s life.  This encore presence will be supported by the fashion focused, media mecca, Linger Magazine (Linger).

After providing media sponsorship in 2012, Linger is returning to provide an international reader platform with is title sponsorship for the EDC.  Linger magazine shares the joy of supporting this initiative.

“Although centered in Baltimore, we are excited to share this initiative on a global platform and across cultural boarders,“ shared Tiffany Tate, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Linger Magazine.  “Last year, the EDC winner was applauded thunderously by the audience, and our entire team is proud to take this initiative under our wings to help aspiring fashion designers sour.”

The EDC is open to middle, high school and college students across the U.S.  The EDC introduces aspiring designers to a high fashion runway experience, as well as spotlight coverage in the Linger’s Industry Issue.  The winner of this fashion initiative will win a cash prize, fashion spread in the September 2013 publication of Industry Issue, a look book and much more.

“Having Linger Magazine on board as title sponsor of the Emerging Designer Competition is a huge opportunity.  My vision is to open the minds of our young fashion enthusiasts, who may not think their collection is ready for our runways.  Baltimore Fashion Week is a “fashion” infused with a strong emphasis on the arts,” stated Nixon, Founder/CEO of Baltimore Fashion Week.
