In addition, he uses several techniques to experiment and develop his own original textiles for his unique fashion.

I aim to become a designer who can design ,cut, fit, and construct all by myself because I believe that a person who owns many sets of skills is able to make better design work.
The collection is inspired by the corrupted church during the Middle Age when priests used religion as tools to gain wealth. All fabrics choices are either pure silk or silk-wool blend. All garments are done by 50% machine sewing and 50% hand sewing.

Beauty of Korea

Nothing makes my heart pound more rapidly or my mind race like creating something out of the lines, colors, and inspirations around me. Architecture and nature are my main inspiration. After I create a mood board based on these, I pull the shapes, lines, and colors out and apply them to the fashion. Matching different colors together and exploring the concepts of masculinity, androgyny, and gender fluidity is the most important part for me during the design process. I love to design gender fluid fashion that provides people more options for authentic self-expression.
Flight 718 to Tokyo

I was born in the Bronx to Jamaican parents. At age 8, my family moved to south Florida, a turnaround from the city, unlike anything I'd ever seen before. All I knew was New York City. From looking out the window, I have always been inspired by architecture. I felt as if a piece of me had gone missing. Following my first college degree, I returned to New York, pursuing a design career at FIT. My aesthetic originates in my streetwear- influenced past. It has evolved toward a minimalist approach, combining elements of functional tech-wear and classic tailoring with originality and individuality. My designs fuse the attitude and nostalgia of New York's street culture, inspired by animation characters, infused with Japanese street culture. I developed my second trademarked label, Arcoa. Each authentic design is a pursuit of innovation. Hopefully, this sentiment can be seen throughout the evolution and uprising of Arcoa.
Societas Dracul

In order to create a collection, my first instinct is to look into the past. Humanity's compelling yet morose history is a constant source of inspiration for me as a menswear designer. I allow this initial inspiration to blossom into a full-fledged apparatus of ideas, borrowing aesthetics and concepts from film, literature, and philosophy. I long for my work to feel completely detached from the mundanity of reality. Instead, I explore subjects surrounding the occult, the eccentric, and the spiritual. My design process is best described as loosely stringing abstract ideas together to create a cohesive, immersive world. I attempt to create clothing that instantaneously transports the wearer to this fictitious place. Antique textiles, innovative construction, and flattering silhouettes intertwine to create a refreshingly imaginative take on traditional menswear. In a world that tears away our sense of bewilderment and creativity, I create clothing for the escapist within us all.
Third Semester Final Look Collage

I am a Kentucky-born, New York City-based designer. Fueled by early ventures in fine art as well as garment reconstruction and alteration, I aim to create more than just products, never forgetting the necessity of function. I am committed to cultivating an aesthetic by reconceptualizing the mundane through unexpected techniques. Influenced by uniform and tradition, but never wanting solely to remake, my work takes on a Lynchian quality — distorting classic ideas to create something new and surreal. My definition of tradition is informed by opposing upbringings in the rural south and in New York City. My work embodies a juxtaposition of raw Americana and modern elegance. Design often falls into either an emulation of the past or a prediction of the future; my work explores how the future differs relative to what period you occupy. I design for a future world, as if from past perspectives.

I am a menswear designer who focuses on making garments that create a balance of color and shapes, piecing, new closure systems, nature, and complex ideologies. For this collection, I infused athleisure with retro-futurism while also taking influence from modern sportswear, traditional menswear tailoring, and my father, who is an abstract artist. Simply put, my overarching philosophy is to create collections that give the wearer a feeling of equilibrium and balance with themselves. My goal is to make people feel confident, beautiful, and comfortable. I believe this state of "confident balance" can be achieved by making garments that are elegant yet casual, as well as functional yet dashing.
FURIOSA Collection

I have been captivated by the world of fashion ever since recognizing that the clothing one chooses to wear signals everything about who you are — it's the ultimate form of self-expression. In 2016, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in economics, but after working at a marketing agency for two years, I realized that I needed to step away from my salaried life and earn a creative role as a designer. With each collection, my goal is to push the conventions of menswear. My designs emphasize utility, durability, and a sense of survivalism. The silhouettes in my collections showcase a visual aesthetic that gives the customer a sense of boldness and spunk.
Hard Times

I strive to create an ethos combining utilitarian garments with an awareness of mental health. Committed to increasing society's awareness of our responsibility towards one another, "Hard Times" aims to provide comfortable vehicles in which free thought, function, expression, and luxury can exist collectively. My inspiration is often drawn from references to countercultural movements, neo-expressionist art, music, film, and street style.
In the Shell

My design style has been shaped by New York City and my love of the urban environment. Growing up, I drew inspiration from the endurance needed to thrive in the city. The constant movement across an urban landscape requires durable and well-made garments. Skateboarding and photography are large influences, both demanding high levels of utility, accessibility, and movement. Harsh conditions call for adaptability and performance, all of which inform the design process of my work.
"That's So 90's"
Jose Rodriguez
- 2021
- Menswear
- Image
My thesis collection, "That's So 90s," was inspired by the '90s. I was drawn to the music culture of that time. Artists such as Tupac, LL Cool J, and DMX influenced my design process for this collection. I wanted to put a twist on the fashion that was seen during that time, such as using a casual fabric like denim and tailoring it into a pant while juxtaposing that with an oversized cropped denim jacket. I liked the idea of tailoring something as casual as denim, while creating a more relaxed look out of suiting fabric typically seen in tailoring. The star piece of this collection is my cropped shredded knit sweater. This piece elevates the collection and reinterprets the casual aesthetic of the '90s. One thing that holds true with all my work is that there is always a play on proportion and fluidity, with the element of wearability.
A Real Flower Boy

My second-year presentation, "A Real Flower Boy," is my childhood love letter. I referenced the '90s film "Juice," vintage Giorgio Armani silhouettes, and Gordon Parks photography because they reminded me of what it felt like growing up. The aggressive bark of hip-hop culture in "Juice," the casual-cool uniform of Armani, and the Black cultural camaraderie seen in Parks' photography. Lorna Simpson's collage work is always on my mind. I started collaging my inspiration images with 19th-century floral paintings that I came across, eventually inspiring me to use traditional menswear garments popular in the '90s and to play with gathering, pleating, and shirring techniques to add volume and mimic the layering seen in flowers. The fabrications are focused on heavy wools and sturdy cottons made in formal pinstripes. Crisp whites and light crèmes contrast with charcoals and moss, made luxurious in cashmere and silk blends.
Brandon Rivera Fall Winter 2021: Engulfed

My craft is my attempt to comment on the inherent conflicts within the urban landscape and the industrial world. I take inspiration from global affairs and pay significant attention to modernist thinkers for the subject matter behind my garments. I began my journey studying graphic design under fine art instruction before enrolling at the Fashion Institute of Technology. While studying fine art, I took time to understand textile construction through weaving, spinning, and dyeing materials. My construction techniques aim to emphasize structural integrity and bespoke details. This is examined through the use of traditional silhouettes alongside forward-thinking construction elements. This synthesis is meant to place my work in the context of men's tailoring in addition to pursuing my own interpretation of men's dress through the critical fine- art lens in which my studies were established.
Look One, Western Top, Salvage Denim Bottoms / Overcoat / Oversized Puffer Coat

I find myself constantly toying with concepts and looking for inspiration in my everyday life. This to me is a part of my creative process; it never ends, it is just another stage of my process. Western films and Americana with a bit of an updated feel were a catalyst for my thesis collection this semester. I carefully choose earth tones while challenging myself with complex patternmaking and applying advanced sewing techniques to achieve all my garments.
Yosef Benoit

For the thesis collection, I showcase my heritage and my love for art — impressionism in particular. I wanted to showcase my craftsmanship of tailoring by bringing many small details to the outside as well as to the inside, using a bias tape binding method on all the seams, including trousers, jacket, and shirts. I combined a pastel color palette and soft fabrics with structured silhouette designs to bring masculinity and femininity together. Rather than doing two looks, I decided to bring six looks to showcase my visions and designs for a better understanding of "Yosef Benoit." These six looks will be included with the other 20 looks for my Spring-Summer 2022 collection. These are the most challenging and demanding pieces that I have worked on so far. There will be more in the Fall-Winter 2022 collection. This is my identity as "Yosef Benoit." This is the beginning.

I was born in Korea and the opportunity to earn a degree in Menswear Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology was pivotal as I prioritized the mastery of tailoring and pattern-making as crucial skills necessary for a successful career. I have a unique sense of design and creativity and a commitment to an elevated sense of color. As a developing designer, I find inspiration in everything around me, but most often in movies and collage arts. I hope that one day, people will open their closets and want to wear my designs. The imagination grounds my aesthetic and inspires me to see the world through a particularly unique perspective. I envision a future where my own business produces unique, quality clothing that makes people happy to share my menswear design vision.

What stands out most in my work is the expression of architecture: starting at point A and finding the most effective way to point B, while simultaneously taking into consideration point Y and Z because of their extreme and dramatic qualities. This process has always played an integral role in my life. Like poetry, there is a narrative running through my work. I tell this story by flouting conventional menswear qualities, challenging gender norms, and embracing the freedom of creation. I enjoy playfully re-stating traditional techniques of menswear design while searching for opportunities to impart a rugged, luxurious side of masculinity.

I have always found my inspiration in two places: the outside world and the heart. From watches and clocks, to cassette tapes and CDs, and solely from the issues that rest on my heart, my inspiration is truly found everywhere. My menswear thesis collection is influenced by societal issues that need change, i.e., BLM, prison reform, helping essential workers, saving turtles and the environment. I used remnants of African fabrics and wove them together to create garments that reflect my love and belief in color and sustainability.

I focus on our absolute dependence on nature and how far gone we are into the artificial. With research- based design in subjects that range from psychology to international trade and ecology, I hope to enact positive change within the industry that is meant to last for generations to come. At the design stage of a textile- based product, almost all of the environmental impact will be determined in the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and disposal. My designs incorporate the information and resources provided by organizations such as Slow Factory, which promotes sustainability in the fashion industry. With the life cycle of a product in mind, my designs include interchangeable pockets between pieces, lasting construction, and use/reuse of natural fibers.
