Support Ari's Dream Senior Fashion Collection

I'm Ari Stephens, and I'm looking to raise funds to help make my senior collection come to life! I am extremely passionate about fashion design and creating, and I am very excited to develop my senior collection as I enter my final two quarters in college. I have spent the last few months developing silhouettes and working on the process to finalize my collection, and it's now time for me to begin making the garments and creating the final collection, as well as bringing it to life with a photoshoot and fashion film.

As you might imagine, it is a very expensive process, and it's not something I am able to afford comfortably. There are a lot of costs going into the process from prototyping fabric, final fabrics, creating and testing fibers and swatches, sewing materials, embellishing materials (something my collection is heavy on), not to mention styling costs for the photoshoot and film such as hair, makeup, accessories (all done by me).

I would love to be able to finish out this collection strong and accomplish the dreams and goals I have had since I was a child. I have always sought out fashion and creativity, and I now have the opportunity to use the talents I have been developing over the last four years for this senior collection.

I fund all of my college supplies and materials on my own, which has been very expensive, and it's just something I cannot do with being a full-time student and having only a part-time job. Anything would help tremendously, but do not feel obligated!
