Amanda Casarez: Finding your voice as a woman can be difficult in today's society, but luckily Amanda Casarez speaks through her clothing. We look forward to her menswear for women line with a slight Asian flair and hand-painted graffiti accents.
Lauren Hansen, H.Art Studios: Sixteen year old Lauren Hansen delves "Into The Rose Garden" with this intricate collection, featuring hundreds of hours of hand beading. Her signature stitch and a variety of fabrics following the rise and fall of a forlorn lover.
Lydia Loya, West Fens: This chic day to night menswear line takes various male personalities and collides them into one a la Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The gentleman donning a West Fens garment is sure to be dapper no matter where he's headed.
Agustin M. Delgado, AD Delgado: Construction skills run in the family for Agustin who grew up with his great-great grandmother and uncle, a seamstress and a tailor. "Everything I see inspires me one way or another", Agustin says of his passion for his craft.
Roger Figueroa: Barcode prints speak to the overwhelming realities of the victims of human trafficking in this line dedicated to bringing back their voice. Be ready to buy these fabulous fashions with a purpose from Roger Figeroa right off the runway!
Miranda Hanson: Challenged by her history teacher while sketching in his class to design something relevant to his subject, this military inspired line was born. Hand painted cammo, beaded stars, and the fire of war come together as Miranda Hanson departs and adds a masculine flair to her signature feminine vibe.
