    International Interior Design Association (IIDA) abd Verizon Wireless Theater present Product Runway 2011 Remix. IIDA Houston presents the Third Annual Product Runway, Thursday, May 5 at 8pm, benefitting The Furniture Bank of Houston.

    A play off of the hit reality television series Project Runway, this national event challenges the creative minds of interior designers to create couture garments from the products they use in their every day projects.  Carpet, upholstery, acrylic, vinyl flooring, signage, tile and plastic laminate look just as good on the runway as they do in your office!

    Product Runway 2011 celebrates the fusion of design, music + fashion. The artists include teams from Houston’s interior design firms, architecture firms, and students. Each artist will design and construct couture garments using materials and finishes provided by their garment labels, or industry partners, and compete in a runway showdown. The PR11 REMIX fashion show is inspired by music categories assigned to each team of artists at random. At the CD Release Party, the artists will be paired with their garment labels and genre of music.

    Artists will have 11 weeks to complete their garment from the following categories:
    Punk, Rockabilly, Country New Wave, Girl Group, Indie/Alternative Rock, Hip Hop, Heavy Metal, Boy Band, Pop Rock, Disco, Glam Rock, R+B/Soul, Pop Diva, Broadway, Classic Rock, Latin, Jazz/Blues, Ambient, Electronica, Reggae

    Over a hundred volunteers come together to make this event happen, all in order to reaise funds for The Houston Furniture Bank.  The Furniture Bank is a non-profit organization that serves to assist Houston area residents that lack basic furnishings. 

    IIDA is a professional networking and educational assocatioin that works to enhance the quality of life through excellence in interior design.
