Theory x Pratt’s Fashion Collection + Communication MFA Program

I collaborated on an 11-week team-based project to research Theory’s brand and values, design a capsule collection, and develop one complete look using deadstock materials. Created a campaign aligning with the brand’s identity and sustainability goals. The final look was exhibited at Theory’s flagship store in Manhattan.
