The Houston chapter of IIDA Product Runway: Garden of Secrets took place last Friday and Rottet Studio designer Ginny Hightower gracefully modeled our garment. In tune with the "garden" theme this year, the Houston office was given the prompt of creating a garment resembling a lotus flower. Using about 350 different images collected throughout the day from watching Ginny practice on the runway beforehand to performing in front of the crowd, we were able to splice together a video that depicts the feel of the event. Check it out!
