MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - July 14, 2010) - Florence Welch, lead singer of the award winning UK band Florence + the Machine, has partnered with Talenthouse, and Luckymag.com to invite all fashion designers to create a stage outfit for Florence to wear during her concert at Terminal 5 in New York City on Nov. 2.
Florence, who is known for her eclectic sense of style; often wears outfits she's pieced together in second-hand shops as well as creations specifically designed to embody her persona, asks all fashion designers to join Talenthouse and follow the detailed instructions at http://pea.to/florence to learn more about how to submit their designs.
Deadline for submissions is Oct. 4, 2010 with voting taking place Oct. 5-8, 2010. The selected designer will be announced Oct. 14, 2010. All submissions will be reviewed and judged by Florence, her stylist Aldene Johnson and Lucky magazines' Creative Director Andrea Linett.
