About
Hi, My name is Geavanna Torres. I am an up and coming fashion designer. Im currently studying to obtain a BFA in Fashion Design at Otis College of Art and Design located in Los Angeles, CA. My time being in Otis' fashion program has prepared me for working in the fashion industry. I have learned to design clothing for women, men, and children. Along with working on smaller projects, my Junior and Senior year has focused on Mentor Projects.
These (Mentor Projects) allowed me to have a hands on experience working with fashion companies. The companies I had the opportunity to mentor with were Nanette Lepore, Lucky Brand, Bally, and Libertine Clothing. For Nanette I designed and created swimwear for women and children. For Lucky brand a created a bohemian inspired outfit targeted towards juniors and young women. My mentorship with Bally focused on designing traditional women'' tailored garments that echo Bally's heritage of its brand. The Libertine project was based off of their eclectic and maximalist aesthetic. The direction for the collection was inspired by aliens and their spaceships. -
