    Threads magazine does an annual "challenge" for which they pick
    three admired and well-known garment designers. They send them each
    the same box of stuff and give them a limited time (not two hours!)
    to come up with some unique use. Usually there are parameters, e.g.
    the outfit must be something that can, with strategic
    subtractions/additions, switch from day-wear to evening wear. 

    This isn't really a competition, because there are no winners. What
    I like best is that each designer must write about the process she
    went through in coming up with her design. I would love to see Orchid
    sponsor something like this. I think many (most?) of us could learn a
    tremendous amount. I really feel the dearth of descriptions of the
    actual design processes used by the "masters."
