Hi there! My name is Brooke Cowan and I am currently a third year BFA Fashion Design major at Washington University in St. Louis.


I am a positive go-getter with an ambitious and receptive attitude towards life and learning. Fashion has always been my passion, and I am constantly seeking new inspiration to fuel my creativity.


I began my fashion journey at the ripe age of 9 years old creating garments with anything I could find. My designs were unconventional, created with duct tape, newspaper, and more. I’ve continued on this path of design exploration and now continue to draw from my earliest methods of innovation and material use for inspiration.


I believe that fashion is not just about clothes, it's a form of art that tells a story and evokes emotions. Through my designs, I aim to bring out the unique personalities of the people who wear them.


I am particularly drawn towards designs with lots of texture, intricate detailing, and bold silhouettes. I do not shy away from color and love incorporating a bit of whimsy into everything I make.


Thank you for visiting my portfolio website, I hope you enjoy exploring my work!
