YMA Scholarship

Geoffrey Beene Fashion Scholars Fund

Supima Competition

For the 2010 YMA Fashion Fund Scholarship application, applicants were asked to make five redesigns fo key items from Tommy Hilfiger's line. I chose to redesign woven button down shirts.
                                                                           
To fuel inspiration for my shirt, I thought about Tommy Hilfiger's roots as the designer of the modern day "American dream", a classic but also fresh view celebrating healthy and sporty beauty and an attitude ready to take on challenges of the world. My inspirations were sporty all-American beauties like Katharine Hepburn and Patti Hansen.
