Tomorrow at the Portland Art Museum (doors at 6:30, show at 7:30), the Art Institute of Portland is holding its 10th anniversary fashion show featuring work from students, graduating seniors, and alumni. This year’s crop is looking pretty fresh; I’ll be profiling some of the graduating seniors in the days leading up to the event. Next up:

KORINA EMMERICH

With a background in fine arts, Emmerich looks toward England for inspiration, and has hopes of relocating to London after graduating. (Vivienne Westwood is a favorite). This senior collection is a product of Emmerichs fascinations with Surrealism and music (particularly the style of dress popularized by icons like the Rolling Stones.

Emmerich’s senior collection is titled “Hot Love”, and also cites Sweet, the Kinks, and T-Rex as musical inspirations.

More influences: Alexander McQueen, the Edwardian period, mods, and teddy boys.
