Designer Spotlight: Stephanie Kimmel


Full Name: Stephanie Kimmel

Age: 22

Hometown: Baltimore, MD

Year at Liberty: Senior

Years Doing the Fashion Show: 2

Materials being used: Recycled curtains and broken necklaces

Design inspiration:
For my designs I was truly inspired by travel, and a sense of luxury. I wanted to take something, which has been recycled, and make it appear to be new and expensive looking. I was truly inspired by the likes of the Burj Al Arab in Dubai, as well as Marisa Berenson in the 1960’s. In the creative process I always have the ideal muse in mind, and visualize what she would want to wear to the places she travels. Hence the color scheme consisting primarily of gold and black, as well as pearl and Swarovski embellishments for detailing.






Favorite part about participating so far: Searching and hunting for the most exquisite textiles for each look!

Who are your models? Brittany Coles, Caroline Bachmann, Maria Hayes
