POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

CLASS OF ’26: Elias Frost
Collection: Maci

For Elias Frost (@most.hated.usa) of @drexelfashiondesign, his collection is a story about what gets carried forward, and what gets left behind.

Inspired by his great-grandmother’s journey from Romania and the gradual erasure of cultural traditions across generations, the collection explores assimilation through bold prints, distorted textures, and the enduring presence of her beloved poppies. by @drexelfashiondesign

Students & Faculty-

Please join us for “The Ethical Edit: A Panel on Sustainable Design for Longevity & Renewal”

This panel focuses on the critical shift toward natural fibers, textiles, and domestic sourcing, shedding light on how moving away from synthetic materials can bring positive change for our planet and our health. Panelists will shift the narrative from vague sustainability promises to accessible supply chain transparency. Look into the full lifecycle of a garment—from raw seed to final repair/renewal—with a focus on natural fibers, “slow fashion”, and domestic manufacturing.

We are thrilled to welcome an incredible lineup of industry leaders:

Buxton Midyette – @Supima
Sally Congdon-Martin – @buckmason
Carolyn Smith – @tuscaroramillspa
Allie Hauptman – @love_your_schmatte

A live Q&A session will follow the discussion, giving you the chance to ask the panelists your questions directly.

Date: Thursday, September 24th
Time: 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM
Location: URBN Annex in the Screening Room, 3401 Filbert St, Philadelphia, PA 19104

Whether you are looking to shape the future of the fashion industry or simply want to make a difference in your day-to-day life, you will walk away with actionable ideas to make a lasting impact as both a professional and a consumer.

Space is limited, so please secure your spot today. RSVP with the QR Code or with the link in our bio.
