The FashionMash program hosts an annual end-of-year fashion show to showcase the work we've done alongside industry partners. This year, we collaborated with Ralph Lauren on a collection titled “Boundless Threads.” We upcycled denim to design original pieces inspired by Double RL & Co. and Ralph’s signature blend of heritage and innovation. Our team pushed the boundaries of the brand by experimenting with out-of-the-box looks that challenged traditional Ralph Lauren aesthetics. The show gave us a platform to present bold, strategic concepts to clients and peers.

My product featured a denim pearl snap shirt that I fused with a waffle-textured flannel. I kept the bones of the denim shirt, especially the iconic pearl snaps, but replaced the collar, cuffs, and entire back panel with materials from the flannel. My favorite part? Definitely the black corduroy collar; it added so much character!
