Deeply inspired by her roots, Elizabeth celebrates, heritage, identity, and craftsmanship through fashion. With a passion for honoring tradition while embracing cultures, she designs pieces that blend elegance with storytelling.

Nicole Rodriguez, one if four daughters, developed an interest in fashion from a young age. At that age, she looked forward to doing things like, sewing outfits for her dolls and playing with all of her family's shoes and dolls. When she started at Pima Community College in 2023, she had no idea she would be pursuing her dream - fashion. Each piece in this collection symbolizes experimentation, intention, and self-expression; as an emerging designer, it marks the start of a creative journey based on everyday experiences and personal development.

Berenice Kimura's creative journey is fueled by a lifelong love for sewing and embellishment, transforming raw materials into intricate hand-finished pieces. They are driven to expand their technical expertise and push boundaries of traditional silhouettes, creating work that is both structurally sound and visually compelling.

They are currently refining the direction of their career as a designer and tailor. With a strong foundation in pattern making and garment construction, they are working to define a clear focus that will guide the development of their future brand.

Flâneur - a collection by Brock Arnold

A flânuer is someone who gets lost in small, simple, and romantic moments in life. A people watcher. A person who sees the beauty in interconnectivity and wants everyone around them to be the most beautiful version of themselves. A person who loves not just the beautiful parts of others, but also embraces and sees the strength in their flaws. With each look in Brock's collection, he hopes you can feel the romantic inspiration and the yearning for beauty in all things, from a simple pair of pants to an elegant gown.
