The first showing of recent Parson’s grad students, Alexa Adams and Flora Gills, at New York Fashion Week proved that the Fashion Fund Award competitors and creators of this heiroglyphically terrific collection were finalists for a reason.
With a small variety of colors -- black, white, gray, red and blue -- the duo optimised and drew their motivation from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, pyramids and kings, which was evident in their choice of color, graphic knit pieces and laced neck braces.
These hieroglyphically terrific garments from the design duo have set the bar high for next season.
