Exciting Opportunity for Students at the Cherry Valley Public Library!

The Cherry Valley Public Library is sponsoring an event on June 17 called Library Runway! Based on the popular reality show Project Runway!, participants will be tasked with an unconventional challenge….creating a garment out of the printed page. Book pages, magazine pages, newspaper, any kind of printed page may be used to create the garment of their choice.

In addition, Project Runway! alum Peach Carr, a Chicago-based fashion designer will be on hand to judge the entries.

Library Runway! is open to any participants age 12 and up; teams are limited to 1-3 members. I have attached a flyer with all the relevant information. Most importantly, participants must attend an informational meeting on Saturday, June 3 at 9:00am at the library to register and receive guidelines for their submissions.

If you have any questions, you can send an email message to michelea@cherryvalleylib.org or call me at the library at (815) 332-5161.

PEACH CARR, PROJECT RUNWAY ALL-STAR & COD ALUMNA

Peach Carr burst onto the fashion scene as a cheeky, self-taught designer from Chicago on the hit reality show Project Runway (Season 8 and All Stars Season 2).

Drawing from her 60’s and 70’s childhood, Peach finds inspiration for her designs from the music, art and vibe of those eras. When designing, Peach always asks herself, “Would Edie Sedgewick wear this?” Dubbed “Country Club Chic” by Tim Gunn, Peach designs for the woman who likes to be on trend, polished and comfortable.

Peach’s pieces range from bold, wrinkle-free day wear to chic evening looks. All of her collections are made in Chicago by women and everything is machine washable.

List of notable clients include “Real Housewife of NY” Alex McCord, “Real Housewife of NJ” Dina Manzo, Linda Yu, Leanne Trotter and Chicago’s own actress/writer Nora Dunn.
