Behind th Seams - Creative Director & Producer  - Editorial




Fashion is the way society sees you: Who you are, what you value, and what inspires you in the quickest of moments. This surface-level glance shows the work but not the person. 

We don’t see the hours of emphasis that go into creating something as simple as a white button-down (Logan Fluharty says it takes him about 20 hours), we don’t feel what it’s like to grow up as a military kid like Jailynn Tabanico, and we certainly aren’t caught up on the Freudian idea of the Ego like Jia Gore. The clothes don’t always make the person, but someone definitely makes the clothes. 

In honor of the editorial, another process often overlooked by the beauty of the final image, we gathered 10 of this year’s fashion design seniors to peek into their process. So now’s your turn to explore. Who are they, what do they value, and what inspires them?
