"But as this weekend’s annual School of Fashion runway show proves, SCAD is defeating all expectations."

NYCxDESIGN, partnered with Arts Thread, share a showcase of portfolios, celebrating the work of Senior students and recent graduates from design schools around the USA.

"With the initial idea of using crochet techniques in the stages of concept development, I played with the illusion of crochet by creating my own lace-making technique, inspired by Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington's eerie and mysterious surrealist paintings."

"I remember us staying up all night making these looks,” recent design graduate Mariana Robledo tells Teen Vogue, reflecting on the evening in early 2024 and the friendship that bloomed from it.

"When Mariana Robledo-Segura (B.F.A. fashion) moved from Mexico to the U.S. at age 11, she didn’t know she’d one day turn traces of her childhood into lines of wearable art, or that her fashion designs would ultimately lead her to be a Gucci Changemaker scholar."

"I want my designs to express nostalgia and evoke some sort of emotion, not a specific emotion but whatever the viewer wants to make out of it."

"Alongside support to nonprofit organizations through the multiyear Impact Fund, the Gucci Changemakers North America Scholarship Program aims to uplift and empower undergraduate students to pursue their own paths within the design and fashion industry."

"In exciting news, Gucci has revealed the fifth cohort of its Gucci Changemakers North America Scholarship Program. For 2024, a report explains that 12 scholars have been selected to receive an academic scholarship."

"On Friday evening, 170 looks constructed by 53 student designers across the school's Savannah and Atlanta campuses strutted down the runway, signaling a bright future for the fashion industry's upcoming generation."
