Welcome to the main competition of Project Catwalk, where you can immerse yourself in our current cycle!
Everyone is invited to join in the fun we have during the competition, regardless of their guild role, or the part they play in the on-going cycle. So, in whatever way, please consider staying with us a while, if only just to watch the contest unfold. At Project Catwalk, you are among friends!
This guild is a safe space for all, where we encourage our patrons to get involved wherever they feel comfortable enough to do so.
Our guild members are urged to participate in any and all opportunities Project Catwalk provides, whether that means competing in mini contests, engaging in group discussions, or maybe even securing a coveted spot as a Designer in the main competition!
To our cycle Designers, we hope you feel at home in here, as this thread will be like your creative studio and workshop throughout the duration of your time competing. And to our loyal spectators, we anticipate that you will be thoroughly entertained (and perhaps even inspired) with the works of art created by our cycle competitors.

Head Judge: bad wolf bae Judge 2: Detrimentum Judge 3: Princess Warfare Guest Judge: clowniing
Challenge #1: Compliments & Complements Designers, for this first challenge we want to get to know you all better. Design a look where your model is doing one of your favorite activities, and to add an extra challenge, you're going to be dressing her up in a duotone look. Your two colors must be complementary. Complementary colors are across from one another on the color wheel and really make one another pop when side by side. You may choose to go off the traditional color wheel or the RGB wheel. You must use color though, you can not use black and white. And word to the wise? If you see other designers using a color scheme, pick a different one. The judges will not be happy people if there are thirteen purple and yellow looks submitted. Make your looks stand out! Due Date: Jan 19th
Challenge #2: The Higher The Hair... Description: Designers, now that you have dipped your toes in the water of competition, we know you're ready for this challenge. It's a famous one at Project Catwalk, both feared and eagerly awaited. You have to use the below wig and build a look around it for your models! This is a challenge to really let your creativity shine to make your look stand out from the others. We judges want to be surprised! And to be clear, this wig will replace your model's set hair for this challenge, but only this challenge. And only the hair is changing. Due Date: Feb 1st
Challenge #3: ♥ XO Baby ♥ Description: Designers, love is in the air this week. Your models are all excited for Valentine's Day, but they need a little help getting all dressed up to impress their partners. They're working with a boudoir photographer to get just the right look to gift for their date night. What their final photograph looks like it up to you! But it should be seductive, hearts, and romance and bedroom eyes. Maybe throw on some Sabrina Carpenter in the background this week as you work on the looks and bring out your model's sexy side! Due Date: Feb 15th
Challenge #4: Noire Obligatorie Description: Designers, we've been doing a lot of challenges embracing color this cycle. But this challenge we want to take things in another direction. Black is required for this gothic haute couture theme. Originating in 1977 at a party hosted by Karl Lagerfeld and represented on countless more runways, this week we are embracing haute goth. Black is required. Think couture, hundreds of hours put into bringing these looks to life if they were in the real world, high fashion. Learn more about different styles of goth here, and see examples of haute goth here. Embrace the dark side this week everyone and blow us away with these looks! Due Date: Mar 1st
5. This Is No Green Screen (No Backgrounds Allowed - 10 designers) Description: Designers, this week we want you to bring some joy to the runway! I'll be honest, I'm ready for sunnier weather to arrive and I'm hoping if we work together we can manifest it. So this week we're asking you to bring a spring look to life! But maybe that is too easy for this stage. You know, there are certain items and themes that divide the judges every challenge, and one of the most divisive topics? Backgrounds. So for this challenge we are taking them away! That's right designers, no backgrounds allowed for these entries. No full or partial background. Where is the line between partial background and just using an item in the background? There is no clear answer for that, but know the judges will err towards docking points for backgrounds. Due Date: Mar 15th
6. Time After Time (1900s decade-themed challenge - 10 designers) Description: Designers, I don't know about all of you, but I am so impatient for science to finally create a time machine. I'd even settle for a holodeck to get me there without all the risk of y'know traveling to a time where there isn't medicine or things are dangerous for most humans. But this week I think you are all ready to take us on an adventure. We're going through time, an entire century, the 1900s! Each of you has been assigned to a decade, and you're going to design a look that embodies that decade. You can bring it to life however you see fit, but make sure it reads as your decade.
Challenge #7: It's A Creature Feature Description: Designers, good job on surviving your first double header challenge! This week we're going for a different sort of double header aesthetic. Your models have all been cast in an urban fantasy movie, and you're going to help develop their look. The first thing you need to do for their look? You need to change up their skin, to any skin you want, but it can not be a normal human skin. Vampire, centaur, pink, polka dot, or anything else you can think of, the world is your oyster! But the new skin will be for this challenge only, and it can't human. Have fun with this and don't hold back! Due Date: Mar 29th
Challenge #8: What Day Is It? Description:Designers, I've always been a big fan of the personification of inanimate things and generalized ideas. The emotions in Inside Out. The deadly sins in...anything, including past cycles. My TikTok has been flooded with Hear Me Out challenges where people are even thirsting over numbers. But numbers seemed like a hard one to do, so I'm asking you to personify the days of the week. Bring them to life and tell us who they are. Show us what Monday looks like, give Tuesday a personality. Is Wednesday a crime junkie? Is Saturday lazy, or a party girl? We can't wait to find out. Find your assigned day below and bring them to life! Go bold with this, and really push yourselves to be as creative as possible.
Challenge #9: Effervescent Essentials Description: Designers, this week I wanted to give you a unique challenge. You have the most freedom yet, you can do whatever look you want. But. Every item you use - aside from your model's base features - must start with the letter E. I will allow words such as the, of, or, and to come before the E, but nothing more. For example, THE Etoile Bride is allowed, but Sleepy Sherbert Etoile would not be allowed. Despite these examples though, try to be more creative than just 'etoile'. Get creative with different E words and how to use them. I believe you can handle it.
Challenge #10: They've Got Their Own Flare Description: Designers, it is important for your models to be flexible with their looks. While a signature look can be great for building a brand, being a chameleon is what will guarantee you keep booking jobs. And it is important to be flexible at the drop of a hat, and we want to see you show off how flexible your models can be by giving them an androgynous look. You can not change their hair or face, any of the base features. This is something you have to achieve using only clothing and accessories, some make up. But less will certainly be more with this challenge. Have fun, designers. ;D
Due Date: April 26th
Challenge #11: Don't Force It Description: Designers, this is one of my favorite holidays, and I want to celebrate it with all of you! That's right, you're sending your models to a galaxy far far away for this final challenge. Are they with the rebellion? A jedi? A sexy sith lord to make us question the real meaning of good and evil?! This Star Wars day, I'm leaving it up to you. But it has to be obvious where the models are. Some notable locations and scenes to play with might include a cantina, a speeder, lots and lots of sand. Like so much sand. Get creative and have fun with this. You model has to stay a human (sadly) so no changing skin or base features, and you can only use one item that was released in ode to Star Wars. One hat or lightsaber or whatever. Feel free to go as literal or as aesthetic as you want, and May The Force Be With You.
