AUDRIE AUSTIN Classic, eclectic and chic are just a few of the words that can be used to describe Audrie Austin. She finds inspiration in the most obscure places using life, art and nature as a foundation. For this reason, Audrie’s style is unlike any other and gives another meaning to the word “couture.” Influenced by the costume designers of 50’s and 60’s Hollywood, Audrie set a goal to make her own mark on the fashion industry by fusing unique fabrics, diverse patterns and classic lines.

Born in Dallas, TX, Audrie’s love affair with fashion began at the age of 5. While others played with standard dolls, Audrie found herself dressing paper dolls in her own traced and crafted fashions. For a young girl with an active imagination, this spawned the creative force that fueled her later years.

MCKENZIE COCKRUM McKenzie Cockrum is an 18-year-old creative from Aledo, TX. Thinking back on her younger years, she doesn’t recall a time when she wasn’t creating in some form.

McKenzie was either trying her hand at making cloth shoes or piecing together a dress from various fabrics available from around her house. She would later move onto painting and drawing but has always had a love for fashion and design, specifically the details! Most recently, McKenzie completed a private commission and is currently working on a collection comprised of abstract on wood. She has taken a year off from further education and is waiting for the next step to unfold.

One thing she is sure of is her end goal. In all she does, she wants to glorify the Lord & further His kingdom. Little known fact: She’s been proficient at riding a unicycle for many years.
