About the Instructor:
Meet Mariana! Originally from sunny California, Mariana moved to NYC to pursue her passion for fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She holds degrees in Fashion Merchandising and Fashion Design, and is currently working toward her bachelor’s in Technical Design. Taught to hand sew by her grandmother at just five years old, Mariana quickly fell in love with fashion and all it encompasses. She especially enjoys upcycling denim—not only for its eco-friendly benefits, but for the endless opportunities it offers to get creative and express individuality.
