A kaleidoscopic creation for the Year of the Dragon
MANILA, Philippines - It’s that time of the year again when the Philippine STAR and Swatch celebrate the Chinese New Year with its Annual Chinese New Year Art Competition. Since it is the Year of the Dragon, 2012’s competition is entitled the “Enter the Dragon” T-shirt Competition — a competition open to all.
Young fashion designer, co-owner of F*ART (Fashion ART), 2010 Inspiring Young Filipino Entrepreneur awardee and last year’s grand prize winner of Swatch “My Rabbit Story” Contest, Happy Andrada shows us her own rendition of a dragon tee. Inspired by the Swatch Love Song from the Kidrobot collection, she made use of several vibrant origamis made out of taffeta and lamé to create a three-dimensional playful dragon. Happy explains, “I chose the Swatch Love Song watch as an inspiration because it is very colorful and fun, just how we should all welcome the New Year... with a lot of colorful cheers and a lot of fun.”
Submit an actual T-shirt entry with your own dragon design until Feb. 29 at Swatch Stores, Swatch Kiosks and Hole In The Wall Shops. Play with patterns, textures and colors, using a Swatch watch as an inspiration.
