Every fall, the guest list of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) also serves as a list of the industry\u2019s leading talent. It should be no surprise, then, to find a number of students from the Wilson College of Textiles<\/a> taking part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From designing and modeling to attending panels and flexing their content creator skills, each Wilson College student had a unique, impactful experience at NYFW. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most fashion designers will say it\u2019s a dream of theirs to debut a collection at NYFW. Not many can say that they\u2019ve done it. And Adaline Griffin is one of a select few who can say they did so before completing their first semester of college. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was bawling backstage when the intro video started for my collection. It was really surreal in the best way possible,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was a lot of gratitude that I was feeling throughout the entire process.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first-year fashion and textile design<\/a> student first found her love for the arts in an elementary school classroom learning to paint “Starry Night.” She paid homage to that young artistic spark through a collection she categorizes as art infused fashion. Each design featured in Griffin\u2019s line is a portrayal of a different Van Gogh painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the months-long process, Griffin says she not only learned the power of her own resilience and drive, but also gained a new appreciation for the thought and preparation that goes into being an established designer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
