Here in the visual department at Dreyfoos, the abundance of
students expressing their love for fashion might recently be greater than it has ever been. Among these students is Eden Manresa, a 10th grade student who
has been persistently making art in the field of fashion during her high school
career. Her motives, styles, inspirations, and other contributing factors might
be easily deemed as “unique,” and are effective ways for her to express her
talent.

Many
interested in fashion are inspired by everyday aspects of life. These
day-to-day influences might come from a good book you’ve read, a song you heard
on the radio, or even an object you might get a glimpse of on a bus ride home.
While Eden says this is a source of her inspiration as well, she likes to turn
ordinary ideas into something not-so-ordinary, resulting in a transformed
finished product. Her materials are also “ordinary,” she adds, because she
enjoys challenging her mind and putting her knowledge to the test, allowing for
the discovery of new techniques or additional ideas. An outfit she might make,
such as a top and skirt, may include recycled and reused materials, since she
enjoys the process of turning one thing into another that may look or express
something different towards the end.
Eden has
produced designs for various local fashion shows, such as the recent Eg2 show
that took place earlier this month. Her work was also shown at the annual Armoury Fashion ARTillery Show and she won third place. Throughout the rest of her high school
career, she wants to continue to produce more clothes and showcase her work by
participating in future opportunities.
