My name is Lily Parker, I am a junior and a 2nd year in the fashion core program. I make futuristic gender-neutral wear and work with sustainable materials such as mycelium. I am heavily influenced by the late 1800s. My work combines modern-day practicality with a futuristic vision while valuing and reinterpreting the intricacies of the history of fashion. My collection is about deconstructing elements of the past, in order to predict the future demands of fashion. I take moments of volume from historical garments and reinterpret them in a modern innovative way. My collection is designed for future generations with an emphasis on sustainability and multi-functionality.
