As a group, our diversity is our strength and

defining trait. Our aesthetic and philosophical

differences have helped each of us formulate our

personal vision. We are inspired to present our

work as a collaborative editorial, which allows

us to explore the connections, diversions, and

conversations between our work as individuals.

The creations in this book represent the culmination of four years of intense

and rewarding work. During their time here, our students have developed their

creative voices within a collaborative environment that intertwines mastery of

craft with the development of an individual vision and language.

These collections also reflect the unique experience of learning fashion design

at Pratt, which offers an immersive interdisciplinary environment grounded in

the liberal arts. At Pratt, fashion students work alongside and draw inspiration

from all kinds of creative professionals, including architects, writers,

information professionals, and fine artists.

This book is aptly titled Collective. many of the looks were created by

combining pieces from different students’ collections, demonstrating the

exciting achievements that spring from collaboration and reflecting the

community our graduating seniors have formed during their time at Pratt.

I am excited to watch these students embark on their careers because they

are the designers who will shape the future of fashion through collaborative

leadership and cross-disciplinary work. These graduates from Pratt’s Fashion

Design department will carry the hallmarks of their education into this ever-

changing industry. I am confident that throughout their careers they will be

recognized for their commitment to ingenuity, authenticity, and creativity, as

well as for a personal vision that leaves its mark on contemporary culture.
