Johana Martinez
CSULA
Born and raised in beautiful Santa Barbara, California Johana developed a love for nature at an early age hiking along the American Riviera, kayaking and taking long walks at the beach. A Mexican-American who draws inspiration from nature, art and a multitude of cultures developed a love for fashion at age 5. Designing pieces of art and constructing functional garments is her goal, and she attributes her mother as her fashion icon, and the freedom to dress however she wanted created her strong sense of style. Johana recently received her A.A in Product Development from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandise in Los Angeles and is currently working on a B.A in Fashion Design from California State University, Los Angeles.

Lindsey Schuyler
Florida State
Lindsey Schuyler was born in Saint Augustine, FL, our nation’s oldest city. Growing up in a rich cultural environment led to an early interest in history and handiworks. Early schooling in the gifted program led to Schuyler attending Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, a magnet school with intensive programs in both arts and educational curriculum. She trained in the visual arts, focusing primarily on printmaking and photography. During high school she travelled to Spain in a group exchange with St. Augustine’s historical sister city, Aviles. The sights she saw, coupled with an interest in design inherited from her architect father, led to Schuyler’s further pursuit of design training. The Florida State University program offered a unique curriculum based not only in apparel design, but with classes offered in fashion merchandising as well. Schuyler now studies design, alongside real-life workings of the retail industry.

Natalie Haddox
Art Institute of California, San Francisco
Natalie Haddox graduated from Stanford University in 2005 with a degree in Human Biology. She is currently studying fashion design at the Art Institute of California- San Francisco. When she is not working in the design room, she enjoys golf, skiing, hiking and has become an avid bicyclist. As an active woman with style, Natalie sees a need for activewear that is both attractive and functional. She believes if women are offered more stylish options in workout and activewear, they will be more inclined to incorporate fitness into their everyday lives. Her career ambitions center around having the opportunity to work in an environment where innovation is valued and the modern, active woman is celebrated.

Wildrose Hamilton
Colorado State
Wildrose Hamilton is a third year student at Colorado State University, and will be doing her capstone this coming fall. With fine art as her first passion, her aim is to create garments that bridge the gap between ready-to-wear and wearable art. She enjoys thinking of a garment as both a two-dimensional painting and a three-dimensional sculpture. Growing up in Colorado has honed her appreciation for the outdoors, and she thinks that nothing is as wonderful as a summer bike ride along the Poudre River. In the future, Wildrose hopes to become an illustrator, designer, or textile designer.
