During this #HispanicHeritageMonth 2022, FIT congratulates Bryan Barrientos, who participated @Supima Design Competition during @NYFW. Currently in his first year @fitfashiondesignmfa program. @bbarrientos is also @fitalumni from the @fit_fashiondept BFA program, with a specialization in Special Occasion. His collection was a nod to his Peruvian heritage, focusing on the artisanal practices of the Peruvian highlands. He sought to tell a story with messages and symbolism through the manipulation of fabrics, silhouette shaping, and experimentation in creating volume. “My concept for the Supima collection comes from artisanal practices and storytelling inspired by my culture first-hand,” Barrientos said.
