Kara Janx Cocktail Dress Giveaway + Promo Code | Wedding Contests

While we're always thrilled about our monthly giveaways, we're just over the moon about July's contest with Project Runway star Kara Janx... Look closely, because even if you don't win our chic and pretty grand prize, you still win. Here's the scoop:
Did you catch that? Up for grabs is a gorgeously versatile cocktail dress of your choice, perfect for summer soirees, lawn parties, or {and we love this idea} a tres-fashionable bridesmaid dress...
But even if you're not our lucky winner, Kara has graciously gifted all of Merci New York's readers with an exclusive promotion code valid for 25% off her entire Spring 2010 collection. Just enter "MERCI-25" when you checkout from her website! Fabulous, is it not?!Merci: Give us three words to describe your collection this season.
Kara: Progressive, dynamic and well rounded.

Merci: What will make us want to buy your collection?
Kara: Statement pieces that are believable and timeless... Exceptional quality and fabrications... Must have silhouettes.

Merci: What are some of your favorite trends this season? How are you incorporating them into your line?
Kara: Color is always key when introducing trends into the collection. Our "ethereal trend" is highlighted in the softer more neutral tones, "military trends" are highlighted in our greens and olives and the more "girly trend" is exemplified in our dynamic jewel tones. The silhouettes are echoed in much the same way: hard versus soft, structured versus draped.

Merci: Who is your ultimate customer?
Kara: Our customer is the quintessential girl- she loves ruffles & bows. However she is no fool to what she wants and knows how to own the clothes she wears.
