Meet Ari Fish. She is a Gemini who received her design training at the Kansas City Art Institute. She loves working with any type of fabric or material. How would she dress first lady Michelle Obama?

Meet Logan Neitzel. He’s your go-to man for cool street wear or an edgy rocker look. If he wasn’t designing, he’d be a stuntman or a race car driver. Go ahead, ask him about his croc-embossed leather duffel bag (it’s the item he’s most proud of designing). But don’t let him catch you in public dressed a little too casual - the fashion faux pas that absolutely drives him crazy is sweatsuits!

Meet Epperson. He’s a self-taught designer who enjoys the freedom to reengineer fabric. His professional inspiration? Yohji Yamamoto.

Meet Shirin Askari. She’s a strong, energetic and independent woman who would be a pediatrician if she wasn’t designing. Her favorite supermodel muse? None other than the lovely Heidi Klum.
