IIDA SFC Design Mix 2023 theme is Americana.

Upon arrival guests will be transported back to America in the 1950s and 60s where attendees will have a ball dressing up in their favorite poodle skirts or dressing down in their best blue jeans and black leather jacket for this classic bash. Pick up one of the many refreshment selections of the evening, like a diner cheeseburger and a festive beverage to start the party. After the show, event guests can expect to jitterbug and twist the night away at our rockin’ after party.

Teams may draw inspiration from researching and responding to forward-thinking fashion, culture, literature, art, and icons. Garments are to embody the spirit of perseverance, empathy, and diversity of the ‘melting-pot’ that is America. Teams are encouraged to think forward into the progressive development of cultural diversity, technology, inclusivity, sustainability, and body positivity based on the 1950s and 60s America.
