Her style consists of combining trendy and timeless pieces together to create a unique and personal look. “Mimi” began as a collection that was focused around the use of faux fur. As the line progressed, the fabrications became more luxurious and the silhouettes showcased a more classic style. Emily soon realized she was subconsciously channeling her great grandmother, Mimi Baker, whom she is often compared to. As Emily’s sketches became more detailed her memories of wearing her great grandmother’s fur to special occasions helped bring her designs to life. Mrs. Baker was a very elegant and fashion conscious lady. “Mimi” was designed and created to appeal to women with these same qualities. Jessica CouchJessica CouchHometown: Durham, NCEmail: jcouch_ncsu.eduInspired by life and finally free of all apprehensions, I chose to simply do what i love--create. I embraced my desire to design as a child. I designed my own costumes, clothing and accessories. I used my older sister as my Barbie, designing her prom and cotillion gowns. Upon entering college I lost the desire for design out of fear that it would not get me where I wanted to be in life. But now with the full support of my family and loved ones, I’m convinced that what I desire from life is more than attainable. Being a creator, a painter, a designer and a visionary i draw from my experiences, I paint from my emotions, and I design from my travels, observations and fantasies. Being a dreamer and a passionate person allows my designs to be innovative as I put a lot of myself into all of my creations. My Senior Show Case combines two opposing themes, the modesty I observed from women I’ve seen Egypt to Dubai to Soho to Beverly Hills, back to Harlem. I have taken a modern twist on the Burqua and Hijab while using feminine silhouettes and patterns. My fabrics are digitally printed and a reflection of my own creativity. Using my senior showcase portfolio as my launching pad, i plan to take off upon graduating and be a free, novel designerNatalie DrennonNatalie DrennonHometown: Greensboro, NCEmail: nadrenno_ncsu.eduGrowing up as an only child, I found myself always trying to entertain my personal creative interests with fun, exciting, and unique activities that would keep me occupied for hours on end, all of which involved some sort of artsy, creative fun, ranging from simple art and sculpting classes to trying on anything and everything in my closet to create some sort of exotic outfit. My love for fashion and expressing my individuality sprouted late into my high school and early college career where music, fashion, traveling, and life itself influenced my style change, expressing my absolute love for anything and everything eclectic, trendy, and unique. Known for my edgy, and sometimes creatively chaotic style, I wanted to create a senior collection that expressed me and only me. Based on the trendy militant looks of the ready-to-wear labels Burberry and Rag and Bone, I wanted to create beautiful, yet edgy looks that mixed both masculine and feminine aesthetics such as structured army jackets with form-fitted draped dresses to accentuate a female's body while bringing my own 'umph' into the outfits. Also inspired by Roman and Grecian draping methods, I have learned to drape all sorts of garments, most of which involved hours of hand sewing and hand embellishments throughout the line. With pops of color among muted hues of black, white, and camel, I intend on showcasing a line that is sure to grab the attention of all. Darcy ElliotDarcy ElliottHometown: Cary, NCEmail: eeelliot_ncsu.eduDarcy is a senior at NCSU's College of Textiles. Her interests include knitting, vegetarianism, and reading. She loves horror novels but can't watch horror movies. She was born in North Carolina and has lived here nearly her entire life, except for when she interned in Chicago in the summer of 2009. Her line is inspired by Goth fashion, military details, and the singer Amanda Palmer.Sydney ForbesSydney ForbesHometown: Clayton, NCEmail: seforbes_ncsu.eduMy interests include drawing, reading, animals, traveling, things that scare me, and taking pictures of my cats. I find inspiration in vintage pieces, things that are well tailored to the body, and colors - usually yellow, which is my favorite. My collection consists of cocktail dresses influenced by the character Miss Scarlet from the board game Clue. She's typically portrayed as a cunning young woman or a femme fatale. My dresses are perfect for the girl who needs something to wear to a high society dinner party, where she may or may not commit a murder. Sadly, no yellow is involved.Karis FosterKaris FosterHometown: Raleigh, NCEmail: krfoster_ncsu.edukarisranae_gmail.comA graduating senior this Decemeber, Karis hopes to hit the New York fashion world in a full sprint. She draws insight from her experience at DVF working closely with the sample room designers. Other designers that inspire her include: Derek Lam, Monique Lhuillier, and Timo Weiland. After many years of deliberating a career path, Karis' direction has led her to the "best of both worlds" choice. Karis believes that fashion design is a perfect comibination of bringing about a creative spark with meticulous technical skills. With a very strong work ethic and determination, she is certain that her creative abilities will be utilized to their potential in this new life phase.Alli GiorgiAlli GiorgiHometown: Rumson, NJEmail: akgiorgi_ncsu.eduWebsite: www.etsy.com/shop/alligiorgiI am inspired by anything vintage, color, knits, and mixed media. My collection is a mix of vintage lingerie inspired pieces and handmade crocheted winter accessories. I like to experiment with yarn and gauge to create texture in my crocheted pieces. I’m strongly influenced by European street fashion, and would love the opportunity to travel more internationally.O'Ryan GrahamBrawleigh-Alexander O. GrahamHometown: Lumberton, NCEmail: brawleighalexander_gmail.comBrawleigh-Alexander did his first painting as a young boy, using the gardens and wildlife of his grandparent's small farm as his first inspirations. With age his abilities blossomed and shaped him into an artist, but then further as a creator; being enchanted by even the most unnoticed details he developed an inherent aesthetic wisdom. Being a romantic, he developed the life of his collection through the mélange of gothic architecture, crystal chandeliers and antique porcelain, as well as the eighteenth century late baroque style he observed from his summer spent in Paris. Along with these elements, there lies dark heaviness in his collection to evoke the senses which contrive the foreboding element of evening chic, where woman's violent femininity reside.Tanesha LeeTanesha LeeHometown: Raleigh, NCEmail: tnlee_ncsu.eduTanesha has been interested in fashion since a young age. She is greatly inspired by nature, history, and anything that involves evolution, change and growth. Her interests include dancing, music, culture, and shopping. Her line is a collection of fashion forward rain jackets that also display and represent different silhouettes found throughout fashion history. Tanesha is extremely excited about her future in the fashion industry and eternally thankful to God and to her family for everything that has been given to her. Wing LeungWing Ka LeungHometown: Hong Kong, China / Goldsboro, NCEmail: leungwingka_gmail.comWebsite: http://www.wix.com/wkleung/wingleungWing is greatly interested in working on patternmaking and creating well constructed garments, and also has a passion in Womenswear from intimates to outerwear. She likes to design garments that are wearable on a daily basis-casual yet dressy, and have potential to mix and match. Sleek, clean, and sophisticated are her design emphasis and her muse is influence by modernism and minimalism. Her senior collection was enthused from the clothing concepts of ancient Greece and Rome, by adopting their drapes, warps, fastenings, as well as connecting modernism and femininity into the line to present a mix & match, ready to wear look. Her goals after December 2010 graduation will be working as a Technical Designer in a Ready-To-Wear company, and launch her own label eventually.Kat SchamensKat SchamensHometown: Advance, NCEmail: koschame_ncsu.eduWebsite: www.wix.com/KatSchamens/KatSchamensInterests range from biking around town, thrift store shopping, designing prints, bikram yoga, dancing, refashioning, and attempting to live a balanced yet fun lifestyle! Deeply inspired by everything she takes in from the world, Kat chooses to focus on her one true love, her kitty Mickey. After ten months of loneliness from Mickey running away, once Mickey Kitty returned, Kat found love and channeled the energy into creating a collection line dedicated to her cat. All fabric digitally printed was developed from pictures of Mickey Kitty. The other fabric used for the collection is a combination of thrift store findings that have been refashioned, nonwovens, and bedsheets that have been overdyed by hand. In the past Kat has participated in both Senior Thread preshows of Fall 2009 and Spring 2010, Spring 2009 AATS fashion show, Howl for Haiti, and Boston University's Haute for Haiti fashion show.Allison SlovikAllison SlovikHometown: Hillsborough, NJEmail: Aslovik_msn.comAllison has been immersed in fashion since childhood, and is excited to be carrying out her dream of studying fashion. Interests include reading, running, painting, shopping, the beach and travel. She has held two consecutive summer internships in a New York fashion house and looks forward to working full time in the city after graduating in December.
