2005 Chicago Auto Show; What's the Difference between a License Plate and a Fashion Plate? Less Than One Might IMAGINE

   IADT Fashion Students Rev Up for GM Design Competition: IMAGINE 2005

     WHO/
  WHAT:     The most-asked question on opening morning of this year's
            Chicago Auto Show might be, "How many clotheshorse under the
            hood?," as more than 100 fashion design students from Chicago's
            International Academy of Design and Technology (IADT) fuel their
            creativity on General Motors' hottest new models (of the
            vehicular variety).

            Now that's a set of wheels!  Sketchpads in hand, the student
            designers will steel inspiration from five of GM's most
            fashionable vehicles - the new Saturn Sky, Pontiac G6 Coupe,
            Chevrolet Cobalt Supercharged SS, Cadillac CTS-V and "mini"
            Hummer H3 - as they begin designing original, auto-inspired
            garments they hope will earn them scholarship money from GM and
            a featured spot in IADT's "IMAGINE 2005" spring fashion show.

            Opening remarks by top GM color designer Chris Webb (a former
            fashion student himself) will super-charge the unique design
            competition.

  WHEN:     9:30 - 10:30 a.m.     Friday, February 11, 2005

  WHERE:    GM Saturn display, Chicago Auto Show
            McCormick Place South, Lake Shore Drive at 23rd Street, Chicago
