Garment Evaluation Rubric

Focus: True Delusion

During Critique and Evaluation, the judges thoroughly evaluate each designer's creation. They pay close attention to the craftsmanship of each garment, carefully reviewing elements from the stitching to the fabric selection. This detailed examination ensures that each piece is not only visually appealing but also well-constructed. Creativity is paramount; the judges appreciate designs that are innovative and original, especially those that cleverly interpret the theme 'True Delusion'. They also place a strong emphasis on fit — fashion should be as wearable as it is stylish. The judges assess the design's potential market appeal, keeping an eye on current trends. They consider the overall look and feel of the outfit, and how everything comes together to create a visual impact. Each aspect is rated on a scale of 1-10, allowing the judges to provide a detailed and fair assessment of every piece showcased on the runway. This process goes beyond mere numbers; it's about recognizing the essence and effort behind each designer's work.
