Designer Confidential highlights the work of SU's greatest fashion asset: its student designers.
Lizzie Rosin is no joke.
There’s a typical identity attached to the slew of trendy fashion design students on Syracuse University’s campus and you’ve probably become accustomed to it. If you think you’ve seen it all, you have yet to meet Lizzie Rosin. This freshman, upon our questioning her passion for fashion, bluntly responded: “I want to be a FAMOUS fashion designer!”
Aspiring (famous) designer Lizzie Rosin
If you’ve never met her, you may want to change that and ask for an autograph while you’re at it. Lizzie has her mind set on some big goals with a motivation greater than the norm. In addition to her drive, she also has an entrepreneurial mindset. Alongside her in-class projects and sewing schoolwork, Lizzie mends holey clothing for her poor college friends. In class, she advertises her “jean mending business” (half jokingly, but she’s actually quite serious).
With no previous internship experience, she still managed to help Timmay Westbrook with his on-campus show last fall and is also a member of FADS. Lizzie looks up to designer labels such as Marc Jacobs, Chloe, and Chanel; reads WWD daily, and she claims to find inspiration in all aspects of life. She channels all of her inspirations into her work. For her final project last semester, Rosin created a pair of innovative pants modeled after the Washington Bridge.
The femme fatale hippie
Rosin is interested in ready-to-wear clothing for her future design endeavors, which she hopes will be very entrepreneurial. She likes “slightly androgynous but still feminine” styles and is fascinated with the femme fatale and the hippie.
Lizzie has great ideas and a lot of optimism for her future, so get to know her while you still can!
