ST vincent de Paul sustainabilities Runway show

The 19th annual St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) fashion show, Better Together, held in partnership with the University of Cincinnati’s School of Design, raised a record $275,000 to support SVDP’s charitable services, including housing, food, and medical assistance. Fashion design students were given a $20 stipend to upcycle garments sourced from SVDP thrift stores and create looks based on a themed prompt. I was honored with an Honorable Mention for my design. This long-standing collaboration connects students with industry and community partners, emphasizing sustainable design and social impact.
