- Summary/Artist Statement
- Artist's Statement:
- As a fashion design student at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I am constantly striving to learn and grow as an artist and a person. I am deeply passionate about creating garments that not only look beautiful, but also make the world a better place. I believe that fashion has the power to bring joy and positivity to those who wear it, and I strive to infuse every piece I design with kindness and love. I am committed to using my talents to make a positive impact on the world, and I am excited to continue learning and developing my skills as a fashion designer and human being.
- The Letterman collection takes us through the aesthetics of collegiate varsity sport and my personal experience of being a little girl who wears her dad's letter jacket, because she wants to be just like him. As I delve deeper into the world, everything that I thought I knew shifts and severs. Seams and silhouettes reflect memories and nostalgic feelings slipping away. So, I'll put on my dad's jacket like a shield and become a little girl again.
