Maggie x Otis Fashion School Mentorship | Final Fittings

Witness the Otis Fashion students work their magic as they upcycle our excess stock and transform it into couture-worthy bridal fashion. The Maggie mentor team has worked closely with the students during fittings, and now they will finalize their designs, putting the finishing touches on these one-of-a-kind creations for the Otis Fashion Show! But first, stay tuned in a few weeks as our team, along with Otis Fashion, reflect on this upcycled design project and the power of mentorship.
About the Mentorship:
For the first time in its 40-year history, Otis Fashion is bringing together its junior and senior class students to create a bridal fashion collection upcycled from our discontinued and one-of-a-kind stock, inspired by forms in nature - and we couldn't be more thrilled! Maggie Sottero’s CEO and Creative Director Kelly Midgley, Sustainability Director and Designer Patricia DeLaunay (an Otis College ’04 BFA Fashion Design alumna), and Lead Designer Edric Woo have tasked the students with reimagining Maggie Sottero dresses. The juniors are set to reimagine styles for the bridal party of the “very near future,” creating upcycles of stock gowns that can be worn for the wedding weekend, wedding day, and beyond. Likewise, the seniors are challenged to dress the bride, recreating stock Maggie Sottero wedding dresses into modern and new gowns by reimagining shape, proportion, and fabric remnants!
