Kansas City, Mo. – On May 8, 2008, Rosemann & Associates, PC won “Most Inspired” for its military-styled clothing designs at the Mid-America Chapter of International Interior Design Association’s annual Color + Couture Fashion Show. The event benefited Synergy Services, a non-profit children’s shelter for runaway and homeless youth in western Missouri.Held at the Madrid Theater in Kansas City, Mo. the event sold out with a total of 550 guests attending. According to IIDA Mid-America’s website, 26 teams entered the competition using product materials donated from local vendors to create their outfit designs.
“This is the third year Rosemann’s won an award,” says Director of Interior Design Vickie Stewart, IIDA, ASID. “We were excited to hear that no other companies have done that!”
Entries used a palette based on colors found in spaces inspired by deep earth, oceans and forests. Rosemann’s Anne Schmader was the design mastermind behind the male and female couture ensembles.
“Our team felt these natural colors lent themselves nicely to a military look,” says Schmader. “What better way to pay homage than to design something based on the people who protect our spaces?”
Rosemann’s design concept was titled “Naviator,” a combination of navy and air force uniforms transformed into high fashion for everyday use. The designs incorporated a suede wall covering material provided by MDC Wallcovering.
“It was so much fun,” says model Michael Gaillard, a Rosemann architect. “You walk back stage and there are high energy people everywhere. I felt like a celebrity.”
