Erin Johnson, a senior from Dexter, Michigan, continued 澳门六合彩官网直播鈥檚 winning tradition in 2014 by taking first place and $1500 for her Charles Worth-inspired line consisting of unique designs and beautiful craftsmanship.

After completing courses at 澳门六合彩官网直播, Erin and Sarah will be continuing their studies at 澳门六合彩官网直播 partner institutions Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and Regents University, London. Laura Korolowicz, a recent 澳门六合彩官网直播 fashion design graduate who is working in the fashion industry in New York City, received the 2013 third place award.
