CE Byrd High School

Here is some great information for parents from our friends at Byrd.

Please share.

Our next Fashion Friday feature highlights the vibrant collection of young designer, Keriston Williams. Keriston is a Senior attending Booker T Washington High School.

What is the story behind your collection? The story behind my collection is the African culture. Being part of the African American aesthetic inspires me to show off the culture and vibrant colors that are not shown enough in America. I’m also promoting body positivity. There are many women unhappy with their body and this collection shows girls and women to be comfortable in their own skin.

How has the Fashion Design class helped you become a designer? When I walked in, I had no experience. But this is one of my dreams that I told myself “I’m going to accomplish.”

What do you want people to walk away with after your seeing your collection? I want every single person in the audience to feel happy and be able to vibe with the colors in my collection.

FASHION FRIDAY STUDENT HIGHLIGHT:
Chase Dittman is a Fashion Design student and a senior at Captain Shreve High School. He started the year with a background in theater and costume design and has since mastered many new sewing techniques in class.

WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND YOUR COLLECTION?
My collection comes from my adventures in LARP. [My character is] Auto Licht Springs; hisadventures and personal growths are what inspired the theme of growth in the fashion show and many of the visual elements are pulled directly from his story. I wanted to relate the fashion show to myself and my own personal experiences, as a senior in high school I’ve often thought about my past and future how I’ve changed and how I’ll change going forward.

WHO INSPIRES YOU TO PURSUE YOUR DREAMS?
I’ve been fortunate to have a a group of three incredibly strong women supporting and teaching me. My grandmother who I call Marmie, my mother Sarah Marr, and my mentor and friend Heather Hooper. Marmie taught me how to sew, and is the first person to reel me back in if I’m doing too much in regards to a design. My mom has always been supportive but she’s still hard on me. She was never mean, but she always knew I had the capability to do better than average. Much of my maturity and unwavering sense of self come from how she raised me, she gives me advice when it comes to organization and deadlines and is always there to call me out if I’m screwing up. Heather has been my mentor for four years she is the reason I got into design and has taught me everything I know. She brought out the man I am today, without her I wouldn’t be on the path I am.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF AFTER HIGH SCHOOL?
After high school I want to become a working costume designer. Preferably in New York.

Be on the look out for Chase’s one-of-a-kind collection at the ArtBreak Festival “Style” Fashion Show Competition on April 24th!
