fall-winter 2024
junior year partner project

In our third year, we were tasked to work with one of our classmates to design and create a five look collection based on a research topic of our choice and an archetype we were given at the beginning of the year. My partner, Ruba Kanaan, and I were given workwear as our archetype and we chose to mix that with research into Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain from the 1990s. We were interested in exploring who both of these people used femininity in their dress as an act of resistance and thought this was interesting to mix with the typically masculine archetype of workwear.

Much of our detailing was pulled from workwear: topstitching, pockets, hardwear, etc. WHile the silhouettes, fabrics, and trims mainly were drawn from the research on Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain.
