Sisters on the Runway

In October I was part of the Sisters on the Runway fashion show at Parsons in October.  Sisters on the Runway is an organization started by 3 students to raise awareness and money for women affected by domestic violence.

The show was held at the Fashion building at Parsons the New School for Design- on the same runway that Project Runway is filmed on!

I worked together with my friend Jack to create a mini collection inspired by the women at Safe Horizon, a center for domestic violence survivors.  We called it Rebirth and sought inspiration in phoenixes and the sunrise.

Here is the collection description blurb from the program:

This ready to wear collection is about starting fresh.  The white symbolizes a new canvas and beginning again again.  We took inspiration from Safe Horizon and the mythical phoenix.  We worked together to make a collection that represents the rebirth of life and strength in women.  This collection celebrates a renewal of spirit.

Original concept sketches:

Our fabulous models were Jennifer, Britt, Becca, and Jules. They were amazing!
