Active Designers
ANRI
"My designs are an exploration of my Asian American, Midwest identity. I enjoy incorporating gothic and punk elements while working with rich colors, patterns, and vintage textiles."
Byrd & Blue
"We are inspired by fall, the 70s, and modern fashion trends. So, we want to create a look inspired by those themes. We are big on staying eco-friendly so we are upcycling materials to give them a second life and hand-make accessories to keep our designs unique."

Christopher Gulick
"Non-Objective designs gleaned from the imagination of the 5 year old mind in my 60 year old brain."
Ashley Knepper, Chismosa Company
"My designs are fun and very colorful! I find inspiration from 90s or early 2000s prints and textures. I find them to be very nostalgic and remind me a little bit of my childhood, making them very personal to me."
Sydney Lenox
"My current project is an exploration of mixed-race black identity through natural dyeing processes. My inspiration is my own racial and cultural identity as a biracial black woman and daughter of an immigrant."
Malissa Long
"I am a sewing artist who loves to manipulate textiles and create surface designs. I love creating art and fashion with up-cycled and salvaged materials. My inspirations come from anything that challenges me or puts the world in a different perspective."
Danny Sun, Dummy Apparel Company
"We strive to help you carve your aesthetic. Express yourself with our eccentric eye-catching designs. Our mission is for your to be exactly who you are, regardless of what anyone else thinks."
Yvie Tovar, Home Girl Threads
"My mission is to inspire the Latinx youth to follow their dreams and express themselves through creativity."
Lynn Vuong
"I've always loved fashion and have wanted to create pieces but I just don't know where to begin. I am thinking by doing this, I can learn something and perhaps start here. I know it is easier said than done but I would like to challenge myself to creating pieces."
Nina Winter, TISSU Sewing Studio
"My goal is to inspire & empower a new generation through the art of slowing down, mindful makings, sewing & fashion design. Your imagination and creativity can change the world."
