FIDM DEBUT 2020: Advanced Fashion Design Student Scarlett Dyer

"My collection, “Nightshade Fairies,” is inspired by beautiful moments that happen in the darkness of night such as the moon, stars, and the mysterious beauty of the forest. I was also inspired by fairy wings—they’re sheer and light—and many of my designs reflect this. This element inspires me to create bridal designs. Many of my streetwear designs show elements of bridal in them through fabric and silhouette. My collection is very feminine, but it’s also dark and a bit mysterious; I reflected this look in my fabric and color choices. My fabrics included satin, lace, charmeuse, tulle, and metallic gazar. For colors, I used black, white, and gold.” -FIDM Advanced Fashion Design Student, @scarlett.dyer on Instagram. ------ Held each spring, the DEBUT Runway Show features designs by graduating students in the Fashion Design and Theatre Costume Design Advanced Study programs, as well as work from Interior Design, Digital Media, and Textile Design students.
