Stagette: Senior Final Collection

I was given the opportunity to design two collections for the Apparel Design and Manufacturing program at Texas Tech. The senior collections were created specifically for the annual Texas Tech Fashion Show, highlighting the creativity and skill of the program's students. I am excited to announce that this collection, Stagette, was selected to be my focus for the Spring 2024 semester. It is an athleisure bridal line for the woman who needs both function and style for the engagement festivities. Speaking from experience and having a large family, a wedding is also considered a big family reunion. Components of athletic wear gives the bride the freedom to participate in sports, friendly competition, and active events. With sustainability in mind, the main fabrics are recycled and dual purposed, where they provide UV protection as well. The goal of the ensembles is to make a statement for the bride, allow her mobility, and have pieces that can be styled even after the wedding celebration.
