The best collections from Pratt Institute's 2018 graduate fashion show
This year's graduates from the Pratt Institute department of fashion presented collections that included a structured wicker skirt and oversized soft rabbits in New York last week.
Pratt's annual catwalk show took place 3 May 2018 at Spring Studios in Tribeca, when 20 students selected from the graduating class sent their designs down the runway, as part of the institute's series of end-of-year exhibitions.
The theme of this year's presentation was Diversiform, and many collections included a mix of mens, womens and gender-neutral ensembles. The designs were worn by a refreshingly, racially diverse selection of models ? a topic that the fashion industry in general is finally aiming to address.
Here are our favourite designers and looks from the show:
Jessica Stahl
Jessica Stahl predominantly focussed on knitwear, using a 1970s-inspired silhouettes and colours ? like burnt orange, bright yellow and dark green ? to create a cohesive and wearable collection. The designer experimented with various techniques to create checked, waved and striped patterns on tops with high necks and flared sleeves, which were paired with high-waisted bottoms.
Rachel Lee
Rachel Lee illustrated some of her garments with colourful drawings, using the white fabrics as canvases for simple pictures of home interiors and dinner table settings. Other apparel featured intricately patterned lace and gingham cloth that also evoked imagery associated with domesticity.
