yaz is an oral contraceptive, a break through in the industry. and now in addition to being very effective, it's fixing to be very chic.


worldwide - so really, it's not enough that as a judge on project runway, she's shaping how many americans view fashion. now nina garcia wants to change how they view birth control. no, she's not championing couture contraception - but it's something close. she's teamed up with yaz, the new contraceptive that's growing in popularity, (along with bayer healthcare and step up womens network) to promote a brand new designer contest. it's called the "yaz: step up and go beyond contest." and it encourages aspiring designers to create a brand new bag to hold the pill. " the design challenge we're posing is a fashion transformation unlike any other, " said garcia. "we're taking an iconic accessory - the birth control case - and asking aspiring designers to take as hot at redesigning it into a chic, more sophisticated carrying case that they could slip into their purses." if that doesn't sell you, maybe this will: $10,000. that's what the winner of the design contest will get towards their own collection, materials, or education. the contest starts now and ends june 20th. log on to www.pillpackmakeover.com for more deets!
