Student worker Bee Mangine sewing the costumes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cThere's a lot of thought put into unifying the dancers and finding the balance between comfort and making it look good and functional,\u201d Mangine says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through this experience, Mangine had the opportunity to explore different machines in the fashion studio, work with 3D design software and learn how to sew for someone while keeping design considerations in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDr. Porterfield is an amazing person to work with and for because she values your opinion, the way that you work, and your experiences as well,\u201d Mangine says. \u201cLooking into the future, I\u2019m really excited to continue to explore costume design and bring some of those elements into my capstone collection and any other work that I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both Porterfield and Oliver are interested in continuing this partnership in future semesters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere are definitely things that we can build on in terms of research from this collaboration, and it\u2019s also fun to get back to my roots of costume design,\u201d Porterfield says.<\/p>\n"},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
