Christina Horace

Student

Delight technical college

I’m a rule-breaker with a sketchbook. My design style is loud, sexy, and unmissable. I don’t believe in playing it safe;fashion should make you feel something, whether it’s power, confidence, or pure desire. I’m currently in fashion school, building a name for myself through statement pieces that fuse androgyny, sensuality, and bold structure. Leather is one of my favorite materials because it commands attention and adds edge to everything. I design for people who want to own the room the second they walk in. And while my aesthetic is bold, my values are even bolder;sustainability isn’t a trend to me, it’s non-negotiable. Every piece I create is rooted in mindful making, repurposing, and pushing fashion forward without dragging the planet back. Style means nothing if it isn’t responsible.

ARCTIC ECHO

Category: Accessories

Competitions: Africa

Arctic Echo is a statement leather tote inspired by polar bear conservation and the vanishing Arctic. Crafted from 90% sustainably sourced leather, its bold geometric forms reflect cracked ice, while a stylized bear paw motif honors endangered wildlife. This piece merges environmental urgency with modern craftsmanship, transforming leather into a symbol of awareness and action. Arctic Echo challenges the wearer to carry not just a bag, but a message ,one of survival, responsibility, and the silent cry of a disappearing world.
