STUDENTCOMPETITION

IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE ANNUAL FASHION SHOW, THE DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND CONSUMER SCIENCES HOSTS A FASHION DESIGN COMPETITION FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS. THE WINNER IN EACH CATEGORY IS AWARDED A $4,000 SCHOLARSHIP TO PURSUE FASHION DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING AT ISU.

THIS YEAR STUDENTS WERE TASKED TO EXPLORE AND EXPERIMENT WITH THE ELEMENTS AND PRINCIPLES THAT GO INTO AND MAKE A GARMENT VISUALLY INTERESTING AND ALLOW IT TO STAND OUT.

THIS YEAR’S HIGH SCHOOL WINNER WAS NATHAN CLAUDIO FROM BOLINGBROOK HIGH SCHOOL. NATHAN’S DESIGNS PLACE A SPOTLIGHT ON ASIAN CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST YURI KOCHIYAMA, WHO FOUGHT ALONGSIDE MALCOLM X. HIS GOAL WAS TO CREATE A LINE OF HOODIES FOR ASIAN AMERICANS AND OTHERS WHO HELP FIGHT FOR EQUALITY. THE IMPETUS, IN PART, CAME FROM AN EXPERIENCE NATHAN HAD DURING ONE OF HIS HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY BASKETBALL GAMES WHEN A FAN FROM THE OPPOSING TEAM BEGAN YELLING RACIAL SLURS AND INSULTS AT TWO OF HIS ASIAN AMERICAN TEAMMATES.

WHITE/BLACK HOODIES FEATURING A SCREEN PRINT OF YURI KOCHIYAMA AND MALCOLM X, WITH YURI KOCHIYAMA’S QUOTATION, “WE ARE ALL PART OF ONE ANOTHER,” AND CLAUDIO’S BRAND’S NAME. HOODIES ARE CROPPED AND HAVE A RAW EDGE.

RED KNITTED SWEATER: FEATURING STYLIZED TEXT OF CLAUDIO’S BRAND’S NAME.

PUFFER JACKET: PUFFER QUILTING DESIGN IN THE FORM OF CLAUDIO’S 9 WEB LOGO DESIGN. JACKET HAS DETACHABLE SLEEVES.
