Fall '08 Collections-Academy of Art



ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY-FALL '08 Collections

This show included some designs of the School of Fashion Academy of Art University recent graduates. I loved the various textiles by Ivanka created by bonding newsprint paper to base fabric, drawing with a knife and even using a chef's torch to create a burnout effect.

Jee Hyoung had a great sense of volume and dimension in her
designs reminiscent of Balenciaga. I loved the dramatic shapes
and the elegant grays and blacks added to the architectural feel.

Maria Potesta had wonderful tunic shapes and leggings in
variations of graphic black and white and the clothes were not
only beautiful and striking but looked comfortable too especially
when paired with the colorful sci-fi booties.

Felice Morganti had a very unique collection of leathers
and felted wool.
I also loved the menswear designs of Shady Elias
and Young Jun Ryu.This show was like a breath of fresh air.


A fantastic show and really inspiring.
