This FIT student made an athletic evening gown:
Author:Maria BobilaPublish date:May 8, 2019Updated onMay 8, 2019Fashion school students around the world are preparing to enter an industry that's rapidly changing. There are courses to pass, design prompts to ace, runway shows to prep for and professional connections to make. In our series, "Fashion School Diaries," those students give us a firsthand look into their day-to-day lives.
Ahead of the special event, we spoke with Hine about studying at FIT, balancing internships with school, her plans after graduation and how she created her sports-inspired evening gown. I think a lot of people were not interested in [the Athletic Capsule Collection], and not that excited about it because they did let us know kind of late in the semester when most of us had our designs of what we wanted to make. So it was like you have to switch your design over winter break if you wanted to do it. Especially in special occasion, a lot of people weren't interested in it because they might not have seen how you can incorporate activewear into a gown.
It was definitely the first time I worked with all the materials I used in the gown. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was a little intimidating at first because the fabric is very slippery, but I actually really enjoyed working with something new. It got me really excited to create — just like a whole new vision for myself. I really liked it.
