Uncharted Dream

Welcome

Fashion begins with imagination. Tonight, that imagination takes shape.

THE 2026 SENIOR FASHION SHOW celebrates the vision, dedication, and craftsmanship of our graduating designers. Each collection represents months of research, concept development, patternmaking, and garment construction.

This production is the result of collaboration between students in Collection Development, Fashion Show Production, and Fashion Merchandising. Together they have created every aspect of tonight’s experience, from concept and styling to music, staging, and visual storytelling.

We invite you to experience the creativity and voice of the next generation of designers.

1st Half of Show

Jersey Millard Happy Memo

Inspiration: Childhood toys

Saige Adamson Postcards from Me

Inspiration: Travel, my style, friends and family

Janae Bevan

Elegant Restraint

Inspiration: Where edge meets elegance in a cross between streetwear and evening wear.

Leo Conger

Old Growth Collection

Inspiration: The old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest.

Carolina Quinn Lozano-Ashton

Collection Title - Pokémon: A Kaleidoscope of Color

Inspiration: This collection is a kaleidoscope of my life—reflecting my love of learning, my heritage, my friendships, my love of rainbows, and my love of Pokémon. Each look captures the people, passions, and experiences that have shaped me. Bold color and inclusive design celebrate my belief that fashion is for everyone. Three key looks (Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon) anchor the collection, with colors inspired by my heritage and my love for my home country, Colombia.

Grant Woodland Subconscious

Inspiration: Subconscious explores the layers of the mind, suppressed emotions, fragmented memories, an identity you didn’t know was there. This collection is the space in between reality and illusion where nothing is fully defined but everything is so personal.

Ana Castro

Emotional Diaspora: The Art of Movement and Memory

This collection explores the emotional experience of migration, focusing on the relationship between memory, identity, and movement. It reflects how leaving a place shapes a layered sense of self, where past and present coexist. Through this work, I aim to express both the feeling of displacement and the resilience that comes from it.

Micaela Powell Fen Bloom

Inspiration: Wetlands, marshy nature, earth tones

Merlin Anderson The Arcane Order Inspiration: Mages

Andrea Ruiz Colores del Sol

Inspiration: My collection, Colores del Sol, is inspired by Mexican ceramic art and the plants that have always filled my home. Growing up surrounded by their vibrant colors and unique designs, I’ve always been drawn to the warmth and life they bring. My designs reflect these elements through bold colors, plant and artisanal details, and classic silhouettes.

2nd Half of Show

Micah Taylor Tangled Birds

Inspiration: Inspired by the feeling of being a tangled bird fighting for the freedom of flight.

Feroza Asef Dreamscape

Inspiration: A Midnight Summers Dream

Daxton Price

The Idea of being A Man

Inspiration: The coexisting energies of feminine masculinity

Abigail Maat Girlhood

Inspiration: For my collection I was inspired by girlhood and the playfulness of being a kid. I was heavily inspired by playing dress up when I was little and the unique pattern and silhouette mixing.

Alex Martinez Aestas

Inspiration: The Marias

Jenna Lloyd Swamp Doll

Inspiration: Mushrooms, swamps, nature

Parley Bowers

Echoes of Applause Inspiration: Pagliacci

Katie Fox

Business Underground

Inspiration: Business wear, street wear, with a sprinkle of 90’s punk

Mckayla Howlett Delicate Thorns

Inspiration: I was inspired by fashion eras across history, including Ancient Greek, Regency, and especially Medieval. I’ve always been drawn to the idea of a lady knight, and the ability to maintain your femininity while still embracing elements of masculinity.

Victor Matvienko Secrets

Inspiration: My inspirations are the straitjacket and the body bag. These two concepts play with ideas of holding in and letting go. In my collection, you’ll also see what I call hybrid garments - pieces that merge and transform into one another: a dress with traces of a classic jacket, trousers that extend into gloves, or two skirts or two dresses fused together. Another concept explored in this collection is a concept of privacy, secrecy, and hidden identity.
