Ralph Pucci x Pratt Fashion Developed an "Organic Matter: Woven Artwear" Knitting Contest for International Showcase and Exhibition of Top Pratt Fashion Student's Work. All yarn was sponsored by Lion Brand. Out of more than 90 students, 27 were hand selected by Ralph Pucci as Finalists to be showcased in the traveling collection. The show has currently traveled from Ralph Pucci International: Nine (Gallery), (New York, NY); to Macy's Herald Square Windows for 2014 Fall/Winter New York Fashion Week, (New York, NY); and Neiman Marcus Dallas Winows, (Dallas, TX). The show ended in Delano (Los Vegas), where the top 12 were showcased.
My personal design that was selected for showcase, and is used as a major press image, is the knited headcage, skirt, and bodysuit.
Feature Include: Fox News, Interior Design Magazine, WWD, and more...

“We asked the students to create the unusual, the unexpected — something that could be viewed as either art or something practical. There were very few restrictions,” said Pucci.
