Back in November we announced a very special collaboration with C&C California: The Ultimate CollegeFashionista T-shirt Design Contest. With a loaded panel of celebrity guest judges we narrowed the designs down to three looks. Letting our fans have the final say the winning design was determined by an overwhelming amount of likes on our Facebook page. Finally the time has come when our exclusive CollegeFashionista shirt is ready for all our loyal fans to purchase.
To celebrate the launch of our shirt we caught up with Virginia Commonwealth University student, Shanice White, to hear her inspiration about the winning design.
CollegeFashionista: What was your inspiration for your winning design?
Shanice White: My main inspirations for the shirt were playing with shapes and the customers I was designing for. I wanted to make something that that College Fashionista readers would feel cool in and would also appeal to the C&C California shopper. I was also designing with stripes in mind, so I wanted to play with the square shape of the shirt and break up the stripes with the solid triangle shape.
CF: What did you enjoy most about working with CollegeFashionista and C&C California?
SW: As a design student, I really enjoyed having the opportunity to see one of my designs come to life. The whole process has been really exciting!
CF: How would you style your design around campus?
SW: I was thinking about how I would style the shirt, and I couldn't just stop at one option, so here are two! One option is a more dressy look with a blazer and wedges, and the other is a bit more relaxed with some loafers and a vintage purse.
