Name: Alison Elizabeth Winters
Age: 22
Birthday: April 29, 1984
Hometown: Hellertown, PA
School: Philadelphia University (I transferred here after spending the first two years out of high school at Northampton Community College and receiving my Associates Degree in Communication Design)

Graduation Year: May 2007

First Person I Called To Tell I was on Runway Challenge: My mom, of course, then my boss because she was so nice to let me out early for the meeting and first day of shooting!

Current Employment: I work in the production of custom corsets at Delicious Corsets in Northern Liberties (Philadelphia) and I tutor the sophomore fashion design courses at Philadelphia University.

Design Inspiration: I don't have one style I can always stick to or be know for, I just don't like anything boring. I love the mixture of colors, prints and textures- the more the better! I like to create an energy that radiates out from my designs and excites the viewer, including myself. Many designers at our school start with line or form of a garment, but for me, it is all about the color and deriving inspiration from its vibrance!

Dream Job after Graduation: I would absolutely love to move out to the west coast and work for a surfing/ skating apparel company like Stussy, Ripcurl, Roxy, Element or Billabong.
