Jacqueline Rabôt, B.F.A. Fashion Design, was born in North Tarrytown, NY and raised in Allendale, NJ, where she attended Northern Highlands Regional High School. Rabôt was inspired by vintage fabrics with graphic patterns and 3-D textures. She used a combination of leather, jersey, cotton voile, polyester-crepe, and polyester crepe-back satin. Rabôt has been offered a design position at Abercrombie & Fitch.
Angela Sison, B.F.A. Fashion Design, was born in Walnut Creek, California but moved to Manila in the Phillippines as a child. She attended Saint Pedro Poveda College. Sison was inspired by the popular 1950s British youth cult the Teddy Boys – known for their tailored, slim-fitting attire. The collection was made using a combination of lightweight wools, wool plaids, and cotton shirting.
Miriam Tolentino, B.F.A. Textile Design, was born and raised in Santa Cruz, California and attended SantaCruz High School. She was inspired by the graphic novel Sin City, translating the textures from Frank Miller’s illustrations onto the textiles. Tolentino won the STYLESIGHT Spring / Summer 2013 Prints and Graphics Contest, receiving an internship at their European Headquarters in London, as well as student profile and work featured on Stylesight.com.
Eli Daniel Odisho, B.F.A. Fashion Design, grew up in Turlock and Modesto, California, where he attended John H. Pitman High School. The collection is a reflection of Odisho’s interpretations of different facets of spirituality – witches, the Virgin Mary, and the tendencies toward embellishment – and the silhouettes were influenced by the natural drape of the fabrics. Odisho has received a design internship at BCBG Max Azria.
