The Voting Continues! Three finalists left!!!

Yesterday we continued the Umbrella Inside Out competition judging! Votes were cast and favorites were declared and the three remaining finalists are waiting for you to judge today! Remember - designers were asked to submit plans for a couture garment made almost entirely from used or discarded umbrellas.

Read a little about the competitions, and pick your favorite! Finalists will be counted down all week, so come back tomorrow to keep rooting for the design you would like to see on the runway at Paris's Ethical Fashion Show October 13! Voting for today ends at midnight EST.

And the 3 remaining finalists are.... drum roll please....
