Sketches for Fall 2009.
Allison ParrisEco-conscious designer and recent FIT grad Allison Parris is going for a daring 30 looks for her first eponymous collection ever — but they’re “regular feel-good clothing” like day dresses and cardigans, so maybe that explains it. Parris drew inspiration for her beaded evening pieces and vintage-inspired detailing from classic American country home interiors — their tapestry patterns, vintage hardware, and repurposed materials — and will show her eco-friendly lineup on two different runways upstairs and downstairs, appropriately, at “environmentally conscious” nightclub Greenhouse.
