Form + Fashion Meets Function Special Guest Designers Announced!

Each year, IDTSD hosts special guest design mentors from Lifetime Network Project Runway. This year is no exception, we are very fortunate to have two very successful and popular designers from the most recent seasons. Season 12 finalist Helen Castillo, and Season 11 Winner Michelle Lesniak. Ironically they both showed their winning collections in 2013 at NYC Lincoln Center Fashion Week, Michelle in February, and Helen in September.
