Kelsy Carleen Parkhouse is the first winner of the Liz Claiborne Concept to Product Award. The $25,000 prize is given to one graduating senior from the Pratt Institute Department of Fashion Design based upon the work exhibited during the Pratt Fashion Show. As a faculty member at Pratt, I was a big champion of Kelsy's Grand Canyon inspired collection filled with vintage textiles and hand quilting. I'm so happy to see that the Kelsy has expanded her collection to include more looks and has documented her SS13 collection via a look book and video. Kelsy's label, Carleen, seems to be on its way to being a much needed member of the American fashion scene.
