Lynch’s Pirates of the Caribbean inspired
collection set
the bar high as
the show opener.
Four incredibly
unique, detailed
looks opened the
show with
cannons
booming. She
won Best Use
of Texture,
Best Theme
Inspiration
and first
runner up.
The big
winner of the
evening was
Erin Cumbia
whose My Fair
Lady
collection
looked as
though
Audrey
Hepburn
herself
would
have worn
them.
She was
gracious
enough
to provide
us with the inside scoop into her winning moment, the pre-production work, and what her future plans are as a designer after graduation.
“The moment when they called my name was fantastic. Knowing the
time and effort that I have put into it and the fact that
this is my senior year, receiving that award was just the icing on the cake. It was the fulfillment of a personal
goal and the conformation
that I am on the right track.”
It was an exciting
moment backstage as well,
as Erin’s models squealed
and ran up the stairs to share in the moment. All of the hard work had finally
come to this!
