Rachel,17, believes in 'Retro Fashion' with a twist. Her designs are inspired from the past but are smartly adjusted to fit into current fashion trends. She blends vintage patterns and modern designs for a collection she thinks is bound to turn heads. And sure enough, Rachel was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner of the BKFK Signature Style Challenge; her prize - a whopping $10,000 and a trip to the Tommy Hilfiger studios!
Here's what Rachel has to say about being retro modern, "In my opinion the fashion industry is running out of ideas, and needs to grab inspiration from the past and mix it with modern designs. I love the idea of clashing patterns but no one seems to know how to do it. So my entire idea was to create a good clash. Looking back at old vintage patterns and 60's designs made me think, why couldn't we wear this today? (Of course it would have to fit into our time, meaning there would be a few adjustments.) I believe this style is unique because it combines styles that were popular in the past but could still be popular again today."
