NYC, 31 Aug 2009: Fuck Ready-to-Wear, Get Ready to Rumble!

STYLE WARS IS BACK! The 2009 Style Battle Championship Tour hits America’s most stylish cities this fall to find the best undiscovered design talent in the country. You saw it on Make Me A Supermodel. Now come witness the fitness live.

FUSING the street-bred spontaneity of a rap battle with the glamour of fashion, House of Diehl’s STYLE BATTLING™ is the fresh phenomenon born in the basements of New York that is blowing up all the way from San Francisco to South Africa, LA to London, Atlanta to Argentina. Check out the video: www.houseofdiehl.com

AFTER a runaway first US campaign, a 5-continent World Tour, support from Banksy, Bravo, and Ashton Kutcher, the original style battle competition returns.

DESIGNERS apply to battle at www.houseofdiehl.com. Of those hopefuls, 8 designers/teams per city will face off in knock-out rounds of rapid design, LIVE on stage. Competitors innovate to dominate this runway, making bold new fashions from recycled clothing and household objects in just 5 minutes! It’s DESIGN OR DIE as the crowd and a celebrity panel of Style VIPs choose which battler stays in the game or bites the dust, while hottest DJs shred the decks.

PAST judges include Catherine Malandrino, V.V. Brown, Joe Corre, Jody Watley, Casey Spooner, Mick Rock. 2009 invitees include MGMT and Lady Gaga.

CREATED by House of Diehl as an opportunity for fresh young designers to prove their chops, Style Battling™ is a new approach to fashion, championing the possibilities of recycled/eco-friendly design. Style Wars offers emerging designers and the audience the experience of high fashion without the costs—to wallet or world. Moreover, with concept-to-creation in just minutes, the incredible designs offer an inside vision of future style.
