Call them garments or costumes or even clothing – just don't write off Laura Kane and Claudia Parent's designs as mere whimsy.
These Framingham State College Fashion Design and Retailing students are serious about creativity. Laura, right, favors bright, fun clothing and costumes for anime fans, worked for toy maker Hasbro, and sees a future in the engineering end of the industry. Claudia, left, had a fashion epiphany in Italy, has worked for TJX and plans to sell her own styles to boutiques soon.
"My style changes daily, it totally depends on my mood," says Claudia. "I like to have a wide variety of clothes, but I don't have a closet, just a big open space full of rods and hangars."
Laura's style has evolved from punk-inspired looks to fun and feminine, with ruffles and lace. "I don't pay attention to trends at all," she says. "It's more satisfying to me to have my own aesthetic and not be influenced by what I see."
