The Dress Code Has a Plot Twist
Creative Formal + Sneakers Required.
Think gala attire with personality—bold suits, gorgeous gowns, tuxedo-inspired looks with a twist, wearable art, dramatic accessories, and avant-garde fits that make people look twice.
Basically, we want you to look like you understood the assignment…and then added your own chapter.
Sneakers are required. No exceptions.
No jeans, streetwear, athletic wear, or business casual. This is not that kind of party.
And yes... we're giving trophies.
🏆 The Art of Being Seen Award — Outstanding Overall Look
👟 The Sole of Creativity Award — Best Sneaker Style
🎨 The Wearable Work of Art Award — Most Creative Formal Attire
✨ The Bold Expression Award — Most Original Style
So yes, you can simply come dressed appropriately...
But where's the fun in that?
Come Artfully Dressed. Come Expressively You.
