Senior Briana Coronado designed her capstone collection ‘Vespertine’ to share her story of growing up in a hyper-religious culture that placed many restrictions on what she could wear and how she could represent herself. She employed difficult textiles such as leather, denim and lace to demonstrate her personal style evolution…and our jurors loved where she landed.

Briana began the design program without knowing how to sew — her dedication to practicing her chosen craft is evident through the premium quality of design, details and construction seen in ‘Vespertine’. We wish you could see it all up close; each detail is so thoughtful and sublime!

Senior Eliana Ruiz considers herself an artist AND a designer; her capstone collection titled ‘Reverie’ combines both personas with great visual impact. Eliana was first intrigued by the royal blue embroidered and appliquéd organza fabric, artistically pairing it with raw natural canvas that she hand-painted. Each unique look represents a different facet of the female artist!

Junior Sami Schultz received the ‘Fashion-Forward’ award for her sustainable avant-garde look ‘Ocean Paradise’. All materials used were required to be sustainable; the hand-dyed silk goods that now mimic ocean ripples were provided by the grant received in late 2024. The dimensional appliqués representing a coral reef all feature different fabric manipulation techniques for texture. The coordinating hat is also by the designer.

‘Most Marketable’ went to sophomore Gianna De La Pasqua, who designed this custom-fitted asymmetrical layered lace dress and leather vest for her client, our School of Arts & Sciences administrative assistant, Christina. Jurors said they could easily picture this flattering dress in a broad range of inclusive sizes at a brand like Universal Standard!
