My name is Clara Swagel, and I am a recent BFA graduate in Fashion Design from Parsons. My design practice focuses on exploring silhouettes and textiles through storytelling, where I create my own knitwear and enjoy experimenting with both unconventional materials and traditional woven fabrics. While studying at Parsons, I also gained valuable experience working in the fashion industry.

 

With two years of professional experience through internships, I have developed a diverse skill set that encompasses both technical skills—such as drawing flats, organizing tech packs, and assisting with fittings—and creative areas, including design research and development, fashion illustrations, visual identity building, and textile and trim sourcing.

 

As a French-American, I am fluent in both languages and have notions in Spanish and Italian.
