Bio
Victoria Zion Barrett is from Apex, NC. She is an aspiring fashion designer and business owner. Ever since she was a little girl, fashion has been an important part of her journey. She realized her desire to be a fashion designer at age 7 while playing Just Dance’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper. She still lives by this unintentionally, and even though she takes her designs and future career very seriously, she still just wants to have fun. Her interest in video games, Anime, and other geeky things often inspires her work. She is so grateful for the opportunity to design in the Threads show to showcase more of who she is and what she can do.
Collection Concept
Cyber Street is the future of luxury streetwear. The fearless use of loud color and experimental layering reveals Cyber City’s bold individuality through mismatched silhouettes, exaggerated proportions, and an unapologetically obnoxious use of colors that reject conventional fashion rules. Cyber Street is geared towards everyone choosing their own storylines and paths. This collection is meant to feel unpredictable, experimental, and hopeful, using material combinations, fun fabric choices, texture, structure, and contrasting elements. Cyber Street celebrates and honors deep cultural roots, empowering wearers to express themselves boldly and without apology. Cyber Street unites people from all walks of life, finds beauty in imperfection, and embraces what is unconventional.
