Unbelievable Fashion Extravaganza: Discover the Daring Designers Turning Heads at Mosaic Showcase!

Unveiling the Ultimate Fashion Extravaganza at the University Center turned heads during the jaw-dropping AAS Fashion Graduate Showcase. Dubbed “MOSAIC: PERSONAL STORIES, COLLECTIVE EFFORT,” this mind-blowing installation celebrated individualism and collaboration like never before.

On December 10, visionary Parsons professors Geoffrey Gertz and Tiffany Webber took over UC classrooms 502 and 503, converting them into lush spaces packed with mannequins, vivid collages, and dazzling video projections. Across the hallway, UC 504 hosted fashion marketing geniuses unveiling digital portfolios that screamed innovation. Linking it all was the Social Justice Hub, where Professor Kaz Senju conducted a sensational live lookbook photoshoot.

The spotlight was on “Mosaic,” a theme exploding with culture, identity, and nostalgia—crafted by none other than the fashion marketing masterminds. Each unique creation was a burst of storytelling magic! “Everyone here has a story to tell... we unite to celebrate each other,” revealed Tyler Fontanez.

Fashion magician Jaeyoung Kang took cues from khaki, the color tied to his military days in South Korea. His jaw-dropping collection, drenched in camouflage and earthy hues, transformed those memories into a chic, utilitarian masterpiece. One standout design? A glossy quilted top paired with edgy mesh trousers and buckled details. 🔥

Meanwhile, Noe Cadiente spiced up the show by channeling Filipino roots through modern lenses. Determined to shatter stereotypes of pageantry and elegance, her collection merged traditional attire like the Baro’t Saya with contemporary flair. Her Philippine heritage and its lush landscapes became the muse for her vibrant green creations.

Denim diva Cicely Barber paid a heartfelt tribute to her family, weaving her memories of ‘90s grunge in Chicago into each piece. Channeling the essence of denim, she brought forth a creation that mesmerized—a denim dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline that echoed deep familial connections.

Zoe Wang explored the connection between freedom and femininity through her branding portfolio and ultra-luxe lingerie collection, Zifan. A prototype inspired by wings symbolized the limitless freedom women deserve. Beauty, confidence, empowerment—Zoe’s mission statement.

And let’s not forget Camillia Zachary, who embraced whimsy and fantasy, draping herself in her own creations and wowing crowds. “I want people to dream and imagine,” she beamed, evoking fairy tales and ballet through her imaginative designs.

The kaleidoscope of creativity wrapped up with Zachary reflecting, "Just like a mosaic, each piece comes together to form a bigger picture... a collective, awe-inspiring show."

A bounty of bold visions—a fashion show you won't forget!
