'I've used these studies to understand how these techniques together...'

'My love for fashion can be traced back to my childhood, when I was completely fascinated with my plaid Polo Blazer. I would wear this blazer every where, whether it be to dinner, brush my teeth or just to admire myself in the mirror. Since those faithful days, life has consumed almost every hour of my life.

I have been studying styling and garment making for years, getting an in depth knowledge of different designers, stylist, collections, patterns, fabrics. I've used these studies to understand how these techniques together, affect the menswear aesthetic. My independent studies have lead me to the social media industry, as I use the power of internet to expose brands to masses.

The irony of this is that although I love pop culture and social media, I have always been a quiet and reserved individual, so when it comes to my own accounts I reveal very little about my personal life. This is why my submission omits my identity, so that the garments and styling stay at the forefront, rather than myself.'

'I loathe knowing that someone can have on my outfit...'

'I am an all around creative. I've been a graphic designer professionally for 15 years, but just picked up sewing 3 year ago. I love making my own clothes because I loathe knowing that someone can have on my outfit. About 85% of my wardrobe are garments I made.

My style is classic, simple, with a bit of edge or unexpected detail. Darts on a garment gives me life, lol! I pride myself on knowing what works for my body AND current fashion trends while making them "age appropriate" for me. Auditioning for Project Runway motivated me to keep working my passions of sewing, fashion, and design!'

'There's no boundaries, it's whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it...'

'Fashion is neither right nor wrong. It's a walking opinion. Fashion is what you create that doesn't needs explaining, the style speaks for itself. I remember wearing Lacoste Polo's and Levi 501 Denim in high school with Saucony's. At first people don't understand it, but I go back to 'style speaks for itself', but as time goes on they respect it.

I'm a Food Scientist. Always loved food and the science behind it, similar to fashion, I love the design and process. I'm extremely fortunate to find two things that I love to do and get paid for them both. For me, Food and Fashion are parallel. There's no boundaries, it's whatever you want it to be, whenever you want it.'

'I was first introduced to fashion in high school. Up until that point my mom dressed me, it was the standard Polo and Levi Jeans (light jacket or coat in the fall/winter). In high school I discovered what worked for me. At the time, Armani Exchange was my favorite selection. Then it grew into Evisu as I became senior going to college. It has always been a clean button down, crisp denim or trousers with slip ins and tassels or crisp white sneakers.

As I've matured, my style has become polished and exemplary of who I am. I love the freedom of knowing who I am, my style and what I'm doing at that moment with high confidence. I've learned that, trends come and go, but style is timeless. It's like discovering your identity, you make the rules.'
