Sophomore Emilia Woydylak is a jack of all trades. She's an assistant graphics editor for Zipped magazine, a full-time fashion student and her 1950s final piece will be in the sophomore flat pattern fashion show predicted to be held at jet black in armory square.
"I have too many interests; it’s frustrating sometimes," Emilia said while divulging over ice-cream. Although she was a graphics major in high school, Emilia's true passion is in magazines, and she hopes to become a creative director.
She's been sketching clothes since she was in 4th grade and always had a strong interest in art, especially fashion. After high school she decided to make the transition from graphics to fashion.
"I'm working on a collection inspired by the Victorian era. I'm trying to combine the delicate intricate patterns of the era with a more modern geometric design," she said.
But that’s not all. Emilia is simultaneously working on her `50s-inspired collection.
"I'm modernizing the classic `50s housewife with color blocking. It's a lot younger and a bit sexier," she said.
Although she hasn't begun crafting the pieces yet, Emilia anticipates working on a `50s style dress. It's a bit unconventional with interesting embellishments, such as gathers at the sides to add fullness; but Emilia still feels it's wearable.
Dream Job: Creative Director of a magazine
Favorite Fashion Mag: Lulu, a British quarterly magazine
Favorite collections this fall: Charlotte Ronson and Philip Lim
Why you should look out for her: Not only is she an assistant graphics editor for Zipped, she also interned for Danielle Nicole Handbags in NYC, and is hoping to intern for NYLON this summer.
Designer’s Confidential: She absolutely hated sewing when she first got to SU. "I was terrible at it," she confided. But with a lot of time and practice, she feels she has improved "and [now] I don’t hate it quite as much," she laughed.
