Santa Clara County's Annual

4-H Fashion Revue  

2006 Fashion Revue Entry Form!

What is a Fashion Revue?

      The Fashion Revue is an event for those enrolled in 4-H to highlight their efforts and to develop self-confidence and poise.  Members have the opportunity to model the garment(s) they have made or purchased and to present themselves at their best in personal grooming, posture, modeling, and accessorizing their garment. The day is one of learning, as well as competing. Instruction will be given, especially to the Beginners, on how to model.  All entrants will receive written, constructive comments on their outfits. Members must be enrolled in the 4-H Youth Development Program.  Garments must not have been shown in a previous Fashion Revue. 

There are three major categories of competition to enter.  Contestants must select or construct and model their own garments.  Members may enter in any one or more of the following:

• Purchased: members purchase an entire outfit (including accessories, shoes, etc.) with a maximum spending limit of $75 for Juniors (9-11 yrs.) & Intermediates (12-13 yrs.) and $150 for Seniors (14 & up). Keep all receipts; they are required for judging. Everything visible must be included in the purchased list, including jewelry. Clovers may enter the Purchased category. Maximum spending is $75.  They will receive participation certificates and are not eligible to go on to the State Fashion Revue.

 

• Recycled: at least 50% of the outfit must be altered to be eligible. Take an outfit and reconstruct it to make a new outfit. Before and after photographs required

 

• Traditional: members sew an outfit for themselves.

 

• Wearable Art – Needle Arts: Use needle arts, i.e. knitting, crochet, weaving, etc. to create a garment(s)
