Name: Jasmine Summers
Degree: BA
FS²: Where do you find inspiration?
Jasmine Summers: I find most of my inspiration in history- historical figures, artists, events, etc.
FS²: How did you become interested in design?
JS: I spent a lot of time doing arts and crafts as a kid, so when I was 10 my mom taught me to sew. It seemed a natural extension of the arts and crafts that I already spent so much time doing, and I was better at sewing than I was at drawing so I stuck with it. The lumpy pillows I made soon progressed into sewing garments, so that's how I started getting interested in fashion design.
FS²: Where have you interned?
JS: I have interned for Rachel Antonoff, Stoll Fashion & Technology, and Macy's, all during a six month stay in NYC last year.
FS²: What kind of music do you listen to while working?
JS: It changes season to season, but at the moment I'm listening to Florist, Rostam, The 1975, and Grimes.
FS²: Did you study abroad? If so, has that influenced any of your designs?
JS: Studying at the NYC Studio was foundational to developing my feminine aesthetic and knitwear focus.
FS²: Do you have any advice for aspiring designers?
JS: Teach yourself and research what you want to be creating- market, aesthetic, niche. The sooner you can figure out what is right for you to design, the better.
