The finalists were selected for their technical precision and creative vision, with designs ranging from avant-garde tailoring to historical, Old Hollywood-inspired silhouettes. The craftsmanship required for these projects was significant; some students dedicated hundreds of hours to their creations, with Idaho’s Rio Larson utilizing 56 rolls of tape over 760 hours to complete a single garment. Other notable finalists include Sophie Chai of California, who logged 250 hours, and Michigan’s Jeremiah Constantine, who spent 61 hours constructing his tuxedo look.
