It was designed by Jay McCarroll, the winner of the 1st season of Project Runway. Jay studied fashion design at the former Philadelphia College of Textiles and Science, now Philadelphia University, where he currently teaches.The feathers for the dress were created using the AccuQuiltGO! Fabric Cutter and GO! Feathers die. "AccuQuilt has a huge variety of really useful prodjcts," said McCarroll. "Being able to use the AccuQuilt GO! Fabric Cutter rather than cutting by hand was a huge time saver."
The dress was created for the 12 for 12 in 12 Animal Activist Campaign using the AccuQuiltGO! Fabric Cutter. According to the AccuQuilt site,
With the number of endangered species around the world continuing to grow each year, Gabby Wild, the founder of The Gabby Wild Foundation, is taking a stand against this important, yet often neglected cause. 12 in 12 for 12 is the integrative approach to combine eco-conscious fashion with animals in a fundraiser/awareness project to promote conservation of 12 unique, endangered and critically endangered animal species. McCarroll has created a dress to represent the Kakapo Parrot.
The dress will be given to Gabby in October with funds going to the Kakapo Recovery Program.
