Juror: Claudia Grau
Claudia Grau opened her first store on Melrose Ave in 1979, with one of a kind clothes created by her wacky imagination. Her first commercial fashion hit washer "Depression wear" which was a Mad Max meets the Stone Age. Celebrities like Cher, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton, were regulars at the boutique. Later, Claudia designed what became her signature collection antique Japanese kimonos constructed into a patchwork fabric, and remade into tailored jackets. Noted as one of the top woman of personal style in designer Randolph Duke's book: "The Look: Dressing from the inside Out", Claudia has an eye for the unusual and has a flair for crossing the lines between Art and Fashion.
