55DSL “I Want My Señor Blanco” + Cut&Paste HK Recap

Last Friday, Hong Kong hosted the Cut&Paste digital design tournament at the China Resources building in Wan Chai. The competition was fierce and MC Gold Mountain did a spectacular job MCing the event, decked out in our 55DSL spring/summer '09 gear!

55DSL was there in full force as the global sponsor and we had a great time! We had our very own 2D Audience Design Contest, where we set up Apple computers and let people design their own 55DSL "Fifth Dimension" t-shirt graphic. The global winner of the ADC competition gets an all expense paid trip to NYC to see the Cut&Paste global championships on June 20th AND a unique chance to design the next 55DSL x Yoox.com Capsule Collection (all the details here).

We also had a VERY special and EXCLUSIVE treat for our HONG KONG audience! We held the very first  55DSL “I Want My Señor Blanco”  contest at this year's Cut&Paste. We gave the audience a "hands on" chance to work on their own design for our SeñorBlanco toy . And then we had a free lucky draw for entering and also free instant photos!The turnout was amazing! We had people sitting on the floor, using their friend's backs as a tables...it was so fun! (Look Below)

We had over 250 amazingSeñorBlanco submissions at the event and we are still accepting new submissions at the 55DSL store until Friday, May 29 th. Just stop by the store and ask for a SeñorBlanco outline to draw (like the one above)!
