PODCAST Interview with Holly Dunlap of Hollywould. Win a Fashion Internship at Hollywould by Entering the Bacardi Limon's "Express Your Style" FASHIONTRIBES PODCAST Interview - MP3 File

According to the She's Like a Rainbow: Colors in Fashion exhibit at NYC's Fashion Institute of Technology, yellow has a storied history. In Imperial China, it was regarded as the most beautiful of colors and representative of power, while fashionable 18th century Europeans adored the hue for its association with elegant, exotic chinoiserie. Yellow is also the tasty color of Bacardi Limon, which is sponsoring a fab contest for the fashion design-minded, in collaboration with their media sponsor, The Daily, fashion's premier headhunting & search firm 24 Seven, and a fashion & shoe design house Hollywould!

Contestants will submit a sketch of a nightlife outfit inspired by Bacardi Limon, along with a descriptive paragraph about the creative concept. Five finalists will duke it out in NYC in a two hour walk-off style cut-and sew where they assemble their designs live before a panel of fash-insider judges. And the winner gets $5,000, appearances in the May issue of The Daily MINI, a complete portfolio review & evaluation from 24 Seven, and an internship at Hollywould,

In a fun podcast interview with Hollywould's founder & Creative Director, Holly Dunlap (above), she notes that "this contest is a great opportunity to be able to try something at no risk, get great exposure and meet fashion insiders - which is why we're offering the internship at Hollywould. In college, I learned the most from my internships, because you have a chance to really see how things work. My first internship was with Carolyn Roehm, which was very different from my internship with Vivienne Westwood, who did everything from cleaning up the dishes in the lunch room to pinning samples."
