into detail about some of their garments.
“Look two is based on the Pre-Raphaelite era, the angelic part of it, because I like how the colors
are really vivid.”
“I cut up a dress that had angel wings and made it into an asymmetrical top and bottom. It goes
into the theme based on the divine, so I wanted to make it based on angelic figures.”
Outside of the way the designs look, Turner went in depth about their personal experience of making them.
“I like designing more, so drawing was my favorite part. I feel like because I was an artist for nine years, I have more freedom when it comes to drawing than actually making stuff. I like that part of the creative process.”
Anthony Castello, a 19-year-old business and fashion merchandising major from Millstone, also created a look for the show.
“I started out with the idea to make a skirt all out of ties!”
and a shirt my friend gave to me.”
Although the moments leading up to the fashion show proved to be trying for designers, there were aspects of it that made the whole process rewarding.
“My favorite part was being able to go to office hours with my friends. As stressed as we all are, it was somewhat comforting to be together,” Castello said.
“I learned how to sew better. Beforehand, I was a bit less confident and I didn’t know things, but I learned from lab assistance,” Turner said.
“I’ve learned about draping, which I didn’t know beforehand, and I feel like I sewed straighter. It’s making me more confident.”
Castello added on to the topic of sewing. “It is NOT easy at all. I didn’t expect it to be a piece of
cake but even simple sewing confused me.”
