Name: Guillermo Zeigler
Role: Student Designer, Art major and Entrepreneur
CollegeFashionista: When did you first have an interest in studying fashion design?
Guillermo Zeigler: In high school in 10th grade, I started designing the logo of shirts for a dance crew I was involved in. People noticed my designs on the shirts and wanted to buy them to support. I then started making designs for sweaters and other items of clothing.
CF: Once you started designing your own clothing, how has your perspective of fashion changed?
GZ: When I actually started designing clothes, it shows how much hard work actually goes into creating an individual garment, a fashion line or brand. I realized that you need to have a distinct style in order for people to like what you’re making.
CF: How would you describe your design style compared to your own individual style?
GZ: Compared to high school when I designed with more of a playful teen approach, I have grown and matured and now design more of a chic and classic style. When it comes my personal style, I dress very sophisticated.
CF: Where do you see your talent of being a fashion designer taking you?
GZ: Reflecting back on my personal style of clothing, once again sophistication comes into play when I wear ties or bow ties. They have inspired me to create my own.
