Fashion Week San Diego<\/a>, a highly celebrated industry event that this year is being broadcast virtually across the globe on Oct. 17.<\/p>\nAdjunct Professor Yoon Bahar and alumnus Koran Fields-Cameron will both have collections featured in the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a fantastic honor to be selected,\u201d said Rita Campo Griggs, Associate Professor of Fashion Merchandising and Design. \u201cI\u2019m really proud to see Palomar College being featured like this. We have tremendous talent here. Koran was actually one of Yoon\u2019s students, so to see the development, the talent being shared, and then to see it reflected in our students\u2014I think that\u2019s really striking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fields-Cameron studied at Palomar through 2018, when his work was featured at Palomar\u2019s annual MODA Fashion Show at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. His brand, WVSH (Win Victories Stay Humble), grew out of his experience in Palomar\u2019s Fashion Merchandising and Design program.<\/p>\n
Bahar\u2019s collection includes 10 handmade pieces that were created entirely with recycled material, in keeping with her focus on sustainable fashion.<\/p>\n
She recalled visiting a bridal gown retail store that was going out of business, where she took possession of a number of old dresses that would have otherwise been thrown out.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in sustainable fashion, and I wanted to show the students we could reuse these wedding dresses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Working from her Carlsbad home during the COVID-19 health crisis, Bahar created a line of bright, beautiful clothing from castoffs and scraps.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause the material was sitting in the retail shop so long, I was trying to decide what I could do with it,\u201d she said. \u201cI had a lot of leftover material from my Fashion Design classes, and so I combined that with this wedding dress material, and that\u2019s how I came up with the design. The leftover fabric became zero-waste fashion.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s important to demonstrate to our students that we can still use the scraps and leftovers that usually go into the trash,\u201d Bahar added. \u201cThey always say, \u2018I want to, but I don\u2019t know how.\u2019 Instead of lecturing them about it, I wanted to show them how it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campo Griggs said Bahar\u2019s work \u201cis absolutely incredible. She\u2019s very, very talented. She teaches digital design and computer work, but she can teach anything, from beginning sewing all the way up to the most advanced classes we have.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fashion industry has a huge problem with waste,\u201d Bahar explained. \u201cThis is one way of telling my students, \u2018In times like this, you don\u2019t have to pay a lot of money to buy all brand new fabric and complete your assignment.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
For Fashion Week San Diego, said Campo Griggs, \u201cYou have to apply to be one of the designers, they usually limit the show to 10 designers, and they get applications from all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
