Academy of Art University Fashion Show


Designers: Heather Howard, Fashion Design, and Cat Janky, Textile Design
Models: Katie Fogarty and Olivka

Designers Heather Howard and Cat Janky collaborated to showcase an eco-friendly collection inspired by environmentalists John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt, paired with sometimes-macabre prints based on photographs of American life in the late 1800s.  Their bold new silhouette may be this seasons update to the trapeze dress, white the prints are very Dr. Zhivago-esque, no?

In a collection that is anything but "student art", designers Emily Melville and Ivanka Georgieva, presented some of my favorite looks of the season, with prints inspired by the landscape paintings of artist Leslie Shows.  Incorporating fresh silhouettes and muted colors, this collection is innovative yet still remains completely wearable.
