Mi Cielo's Kayo Master looks over a batch of our American Girl contest entries.
We knew that the first American Girl doll from Hawaii, specifically Kauai, would be popular, but we didn't expect such a flood of entries to our contest to design an outfit for the doll, named Kanani Akina.
Our contest had young girls color in a garment for Kanani, and older girls drawing a garment. We received more than 600 entries in the contest, with the doll as prize. It's really tough to judge because the girls have done such a fantastic job with their entries, with many going beyond drawing the dress to putting thought into detailed accessories, many of which we wish we could have ourselves!
Helping us to narrow the field were guest judges Mi Cielo's Kayo Master and Moopiland's Keiko Knudson, both of whom's exuberant and fun childrens' wear designs have led to them to expand to adults due to popular demand.
They both did a great job and the results will be seen in next Thursday's Style section.
Thanks Kayo and Keiko!
