Start spreading the news…the girls from the NYDC are the winners of Design-Calendar’s “2009 Best Costume of the Year” competition. Hosted on our facebook page, and voted on by our fans – Alana Moskowitz, Alix Lerman and Leah Blanks emerged as the winners of this tight race.  Dressed in custom-made pieces by the Alpha Workshops, the lovely ladies were as beautiful as the iconic NYC landmarks they were personifying.  Hats off to the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center and The Empire State Building (no pun intended!)

Second place goes to Guillermo Molina of Guillermo Couture and Matthew David Hopkins of 360 Design Events.  These amazing costumes were hand-made!  Molina made the suits while Hopkins created the elegant black and white masks.  Simply stunning.

Honorable Mentions are awarded to Amy Lau‘s cheerful and “Happy” office.

And Noel Kirar, Kirsten Brandt and Tori Mellott for their seductive style.
