The Show: Academy of Art University
For the Fall 2014 season, 13 student designers presented eight collections; of the collections presented, four were collaborations between Fashion Design & Textile Design students. In total, six womenswear and two menswear collections were shown, and the designers are as follows:
Jaci Hodges collaborated with Nisha Hanna Btesh on a womenswear collection that was created with the use of Shibori, the Japanese technique of resistance felting. Jaci was inspired by the excess of prints worn during the late 1960s.
Frank Tsai‘s Fall 2014 menswear collection was inspired by the mood and emotion of an international photography collection, entitled “Beauty in Decay.” He collaborated with Andrea Nieto, who created the textiles for their collection.
Arijana Kajdic‘s Fall 2014 womenswear collection blended elements of masculine design with a slight feminine treatment. Each piece in the collection contained an immense amount of handiwork, ranging from hand-dyeing to hand-beading.
Flora Cervantes collaborated with Lori Solem on a Fall 2014 womenswear collection constructed from canvas, cotton, wool, and latex. She found inspiration in both the twisted shapes found in nature as well as the way human emotions are bent and gnarled by life experiences.
Earnest Huang collaborated with Hong Ni on a Fall 2014 womenswear collection. His pieces were comprised of natural materials such as leather, wool, and cotton, and the collection’s aesthetic was inspired by his travels to Hong Kong.
Elizabeth Castellon‘s Fall 2014 menswear collection is compresed of leather, a variety of wools, and uphostery fabrics. She took inspiration from futuristic architecture, interiors, sculptures, and also incorporated themes from 1930s sportswear.
Jasmine Gonzales‘s Fall 2014 womenswear collection includes hand-knitted pieces, hand-made yarns, and hand-dyed velvet, and was inspired by the idea of all cultures combining as one.
Mingyu Du, in collaboration with Joseph Khawane, used unique materials including an army tent, a wool blanket, a parachute, and a cotton canvas for her Fall 2014 collection. She was inspired by the mod fashions of the 1960s as well as the attitude and freedom of the youth from that period.
