Stetson " Reimagining the west " Contest

During the fall semester, I participated in the Stetson ‘Reimagining the West’ Design Contest, where I created two fashion looks inspired by a Western aesthetic and the iconic Stetson hat. For this project, I blended elements of Middle Eastern aesthetics with the Wild West, calling it ‘Mirage.’ I was honored to be recognized among the top finalists and was awarded for my work. This experience marked my first time working with a design budget, offering valuable insights into garment construction, material sourcing, and financial planning. It also strengthened my skills in time management, stress management, and balancing multiple priorities, which I look forward to applying in future design projects.
