Fashion Show: Design Debut!

Hi you all!


YCouture, Yale’s fashion organization that I’m on the board as the Director of Technology, hosts a few runway shows a year. Yesterday, YCouture teamed up with STEP and YSEC to host a “trashion show” with everything made from sustainable materials or recycled fabric.


And for the first time ever, I designed and made pieces! Three of my super gorgeous friends wore my three dresses – all from bed sheets, pillowcases, and curtains found at the nearby Salvation Army.


The event was held in my residential college’s dining hall. Isn’t Davenport super gorgeous?


The arch made of recyclable items


And here are my designs:

Design 3

Artsy


Midget me and my super gorgeous models

It’s been a while. Yale life has been crazy, amazing, and beautiful. I’ve struggled with various issues but I’ve found an activity I absolutely adore through the Yale Daily News; I’ve been exploring my passions through YCouture; and I’ve been making wonderful friends.

I can’t believe that there are only three weeks left of freshman year!!!!
