“This collection is about the juxtaposition of intersecting lines and organic flowers. With the use of origami flowers, geometric lines, and embroidery, this collection will create a cohesive but interesting combination of classic evening wear and modern techniques, said Kara Kroeger about her collection.
As a contestant, Kroeger will be joining the ranks of design students that Supima has hosted at New York Fashion Week for its student design competition. For the past eight years, select students from the nation’s top design schools are challenged to create a capsule collection using Supima cotton fabrics, and the collections are then evaluated and presented in a collective runway show during New York Fashion Week.
This season, for the second in a row, Olivia Culpo is the host and Bibhu Mohapatra is serving as mentor to the six finalists. This year’s judges include Alicia Quarles, Ann Caruso, Avril Graham, Cameron Silver, Carmen Lilly, Julia Loomis, Katharine Zarrella, Liliana Vazquez,Malina Gilchrest, Mary Alice Stephenson, Moti Ankari, Kyle Anderson and Federica Marchionni.
