ABOUT THE COLLECTIONS

Stephens College fashion design students

work throughout the school year to turn

concepts into designs, and those designs into

garments. Junior and senior designers create

garments for a range of categories including

creative denim, weekend wear, contemporary

sportswear and tailored designs.

The Jury of Selection consists of a panel of

industry leaders and business professionals

who are responsible for selecting the

highest quality, most innovative pieces to be

highlighted in the fashion show, as well as

selecting student winners in each category.

Past jurors have included supermodel Karlie

Kloss and alumna Brianne Ratliff ’03 from

Armani Exchange.

Fashion Marketing and Management (FMM),

Fashion Communication (FCO), and Apparel

Studies students are responsible for planning

all details of the event; from the lighting and

music down to hair and make-up.

THE COLLECTIONS has been a successful event

since 1944 and often sells out before the day

of the shows. At Stephens College — where

students learn by doing — you don’t just read

about the fashion industry, you experience it

firsthand.

The Collections

In recent years, young designers have experimented with digital media and collage art creating a new wave in

the fashion industry. The 73rd Collections embraces the movement through this year’s theme: Organized Chaos.

Organized Chaos is finding order in the disruption of color, line, and structure. Stephen’s ingenious designers

prove, yet again, that clashing concepts produce dynamic art.

Sonja Tabb

Sonja’s loungewear collection, Gaia, focuses on

comfort for women that dress for themselves. The

inspiration of botanical gardens is shown through the

use of color and motifs, and especially via the many

shades of hand-dyed green silks.

Maggie Reasbeck

Equites is inspired by historic menswear and

the battle scenes of Delacroix. Details include hand

painting, bound buttonholes and tailoring techniques.

Fabrics include fine super 120s (and higher) wool,

double face wool, cashmere blends, baby alpaca, fine

shirtings, velvet and silk taffeta and dupioni.

Hillary Henry

Cake was inspired by Marie Antoinette, design

details of late 18th century French dressing, and

vintage lingerie. Cake is an expression of feminism

through hyper-femininity, and was created for women

who are fun, confident, and believe fashion should be

fun and lighthearted. Women who are having their

cake and eating it too.

The Lost Diadem is inspired by Grecian

sculpture, desert landscapes and Star Wars costume

design. This designer-level collection was created as

a collaboration between two seniors and is aimed at

spontaneous yet sophisticated women who like to live

on the edge. This woman is young at heart, always

up for adventure and lives every day to the fullest.

This collection could be worn as evening or dramatic

daywear. Fabrics are all natural fibers including silk

4-ply crepe, crepe-back satin, CDC, silk/linen matka

and bamboo twill.

Sarah Mills

Bluebonnets in the Spring was

inspired by the designer’s southern heritage. The

collection is meant for a southern customer that has

a love for the French countryside, and the designer

hopes when you see her collection you are transported

to her granny’s porch in Southern Arkansas.

Dans la lune is a Fall collection aimed at

strong and ambitious women who have climbed to the

top of the ladder in her field and desires clothes that

transition easily for every occasion. Dans la Lune, which

means “daydreamer,” is inspired by the art nouveau

movement and features original prints, surface designs

and jewelry designs.

Dreaming Structure is a collection

inspired by female empowerment. It features draped

elements to showcase the customer’s feminine side

and linear details to embody her strength.

Rebecca Johnson

Osculum Lude, or “Kiss of Judas” in Latin,

was inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth and the

downfall of Lady Macbeth, from her strict origins to

her eventual madness. The collection features design

elements from the 17th century mixed with inspiration

from the characters’ plot line and modern-day features

to form a dark, edgy and extravagant eveningwear line

for modern women.
