"I believe fashion is an art, and like all art it represents the freedom of expression and individuality. Through fashion every person has an opportunity to voice their style, opinion, and give a sense of who they are."

Kristen's collection: My sources for designs for all my collections are inspired by my unique personality. For this particular collection, I carefully picked out the theme “Joker’s Wild” in order to express my bold, outgoing personality. I feel the concept of “the joker” is a fun character that exerts amusement and entertainment through my color story (jewel tones: fuchsia, purple, green) with fun and silly silhouettes. I will be designing mostly cocktail dresses aimed towards women who aren’t afraid to kick off their shoes, sing along to their favorite song, and party all night long.

What about Fusion are you most excited about? I am most excited about the show itself. I know everyone involved is working very hard and the day all the designers get to see their pieces go down the runway will be an amazing sight.
