This Student's Wild Designs Will Make You Rethink Sustainable Fashion Forever!

Hold onto your hats! One local college student is turning the world of fashion upside down with designs that are just as sustainable as they are stunning. Meet Collin Semien, the junior at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University who’s blending fashion sense with environmental conscience in the most jaw-dropping way!

Forget the same old pants and sweaters you see everywhere; Collin is transforming everyday items into one-of-a-kind, trendsetting masterpieces. "I like to think of it as magical," he spills. From the childhood days of altering clothes to fit just right, to campus hero with a trusty sewing machine, this fashion prodigy is making waves.

When a friend asked him to morph shorts into a skirt for homecoming, the results? Absolutely show-stopping! Each piece from his mind is daringly unique, like that eye-popping dress crafted entirely from ties or a corset top pieced together from sneakers. Yes, sneakers!

Collin's fashion feats have taken TikTok by storm, racking up over 100,000 views and counting. "I’m usually low-key, but if you know, you know. People are starting to know," he says with a grin. And it’s working! His brand, "Semi-Stitched," is now famously booked and buzzing.

But here’s the kicker: As an environmental systems major, Collin isn’t just about making a fashion statement. He’s on a mission! In a world already drowning in waste from the fashion industry, he’s committed to designing clothes that matter and stand the test of time.

“Respectfully, we have enough clothes already,” Collin declares. He’s set on making an impact on everyday wardrobes, and has his eyes set not only on becoming a fashion designer but also a sustainable brand coach for luxury and well-known brands. Who’s ready to join the movement towards a greener, cooler fashion future?
