Senior Apparel and Textile Design majors Abigail Jones and Whitney Howard both earned a trip to New York Fashion Week with their winning designs created for the Michigan State University Spartan Fashion Design Collection Competition.

The theme of this year’s contest was sustainability where participants were tasked with using recycled MSU clothing provided by the Spartan Bookstore to create a unique look. The judges deemed the fashions made by Jones and Howard as the most original and creative sustainable concept designs. Both these winning creations are now on display through Feb. 9 at the Spartan Bookstore located in MSU’s International Center.
