THE CORNELL FASHION COLLECTIVETWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL RUNWAY SHOW

SATURDAY, APRIL 27TH, 2013

The Cornell Fashion Collective, originally known as the Cornell Design League, was founded in 1984 by Onslo Carrington (‘88) and Laura

Russell (‘88).

This student-run organization produces an annual runway show to serve as a platform for displaying the original fashion work of Cornell students and to highlight the management skill of its members. Over the past twenty-nine years, the Cornell Fashion Collective has grown and evolved, constantly pushing forward, while remaining true to its purpose of showcasing the work of students who represent the future

of the industry.

In honor of the members who have paved the way for us, the Cornell Fashion Collective would like to present our twenty-ninth annual fashion show to demonstrate the growth and progress of student

designers over the course of their Cornell careers.

PENDLETON SCHOLARSHIP TEAMWho isn’t nostalgic for childhood adventures? This years Pendleton collection takes us on a journey back to days of hiking and archery, nights crammed into small tents by the campfire, and most of all, ou r unrelenting pride for the uniforms we adorned as Boy Scouts. Drawing inspiration from the Scout’s strong roots in nature, this year’s collection glorifies the 150-year-old Pendleton heritage with an infusion of handcrafted quirkiness and eccentricity. This is achieved through the manipulation of traditional Pendleton wools, masterly displayed and uniquely placed in knit sleeves and applique detailing. The overall mood of this collection is dictated by the interplay of the patterns and colors of Pendleton fabrics, which work seamlessly with the strong silhouettes. It is through this nontraditional lens, with a nod to classic Pendleton tradition, that we bring the modern day Boy Scout out of the woods and onto the runway. Enjoy.

HOLLY MEYERS

NORMA takes lingerie and incorporates its concepts into everyday dress. It draws from 1940s fashion, a time when patriotism and feminism were prominent, with classic silhouettes

and military-inspired details.

WORK EXPERIENCE/SCHOLARSHIPS- Anne Bowen

- Pendleton Scholarship

Holly would like to thank her parents for supporting her in her fashion endeavors.

“PREP, PLEASE” is a modern take on the Ivy League style of the 60s and early 70s. Each look is an updated version of pieces from a typical Ivy wardrobe, such as button down shirts, golf shorts, and tuxes. The collection makes these classic styles accesible to the modern day prepster through the use of bold

fabrics and modern sihllouetes.

WORK EXPERIENCE- Supima

Marianne would like to thank Supima for donating the corduroy fabric and her family and friends for their

support.

Oquelyn is inspired by baroque-style dress with a modern twist to emulate a classic elegance with a slight edge.

endless love and support.

OQUELYNPREP, PLEASE NORMA

MARIANNE DORADO SALLY SCHULTZ

“These Luxe Streets” combines the imagery of exclusive, “bourgeois”-esque formal wear, with the universality of casual sportswear. Ornate surface designs meet comfortable, universal silhouettes, allowing the admiration for luxurious visuals to coexist with the

desire to wear and use.

WORK EXPERIENCE- Marchesa

- Eugenia Kim

Lesley would like to thank her family and friends for their undying support and enthusiasm.

ZEPHYR is about creating positive and negative space using the skin as the subject matter. The collection features a range of prints based around a plum color scheme and was influenced by

Mara Hoffman resort wear.

MATTHEW GOTTESMANIO

Io, named after one of Jupiter’s moons, tells the story of a scientific expedition to a jungle planet. The influences of Prometheus and M83 inform a clinical collection that features novelty textures, notably paper-bonded denim by Paper No. 9, needle-felted nylon, and foil transfer.

Matthew would like to thank his family, his professors, and Rae Dagdagan for their support, and Paper No. 9 for the paper-bonded denim.

AWARDS/SCHOLARSHIPS- 2012 YMA FSF Scholar

LULU MU-PARKCOINTELPRO

COINTELPRO considers the concurrent states of rebellion and discipline in young men. The influences of American workwear are subverted by both cultish uptightness and streetwise irreverence. This collection features original subliminal camouflage developments rendered in

innovative fabrications.

Lulu would like to thank the YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund, her friends and family for their support, Dekline Footwear, and Walter Simmons.

in flowing fabrics.

Alie would like to thank her friends and family for their support and inspiration.

WORK EXPERIENCE- Yigal Azrouel

- Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

RACHEL KUHNSCOALESCENCE

Coalescence is an entangled vision of traditional Chinese patterns and knotting with Givenchy silhouettes from the late twentieth century. This ensemble of pieces reflects inspirations from the past for an extravagant, yet simple appearance. Coalescence embodies the nature of a be-

guiling, coy, seductive woman, a true merveilleuse.

Rachel would like to thank her mom, dad, and Alex.

WORK EXPERIENCE- Erin Fetherston

- 2011 Barbara L. KuhlmanScholar

Arinyuna, an Australian aboriginal word meaning ‘toward that place,’ borrows of the colors, shapes, and textures encountered in the forests of Australia. Traditional wools are blended with techy fabrics in the creation of outdoor lifestyle apparel that is as functional as it is inspired. “Arinyuna” not only references a physical journey, but also the accompanying journey toward a state of vitality

to be taken in these garments.

Katelyn would like to thank David Morgan for providing the beautiful Akubra felt hats, Aigle Boots for providing the wonderful rubber boots,

and her parents for their constant, loving support.

ARINYUNA

KATELYN RIDGEWAY

CLUB OF SONS is inspired by artists like Egon Schiele and Jasper Johns: what they wear and how they work. Inspiration also came from Indian dress, American quilt traditions, “Metropolis”, “South Pacific” and “The Master”.

Caroline would like to thank the YMA FSF Scholarship Fund, BANGS Shoes, and Ira, Jenny, and Jamie for their perennial support.

SEMBLANCE

MATILDA CEESAY

Semblance imagines a present-day Africa, untouched by colonialism, where tropes of African dress such as weaving, twisting, and tucking are updated and refined. The pieces juxtapose neoteric technologies such as laser cutting and digital printing with perennial fabrics like denim to recreate cruxes of pre-colonial African dress.

Matilda would like to thank her family for their support, YMA Fashion Scholarship Fund and CCA for funding her collection, and Helen Tian for

constructing the headpieces.
