As I Am is a lingerie fashion show created by Ariana Jahn Hawkins, Jean-Ivonne Keller,
Molly Kresse, and Meg Lowe. Beginning last October, the designers and organizers of the show
created 5 collections with the mission of empowering those not typically represented in the
fashion industry. Over the past 10 months the crew faced a few obstacles, but pushed through
and are so excited to be having the show at the James Theater. We hope you enjoy the show!

Collections
What We Got
The pieces in this collection demonstrate the value of sustainability. Having a limited amount of resources and supplies creates a challenge to design. Still, through grit, designers took on the challenge of creating new pieces from repurposed fabrics, and clothing already in their
possession.
Enchanting Spring
The pieces in this collection bring a breath of fresh air after a season of darkness, reflection, and rest. New possibilities of gender expression fluidly explore color and style.
My Body
To love one's self-right, creating a sense of empowerment in the body you were blessed with is vital. Just because you don’t fit society's beauty standards, doesn’t mean you aren’t beautiful. These pieces accentuate what empowers the model’s body and celebrate its beauty.
Chains and Whips Excite Me
The designers played with male vulnerability and consent by giving a different perspective of what the norm sexual power roles “usually” are. These designs challenge gender roles in the bedroom while simultaneously embracing the darkness. The thought of darkness can be off-putting to some but you NEED darkness to see the light.
Free Fall
For this segment, the designers had artistic freedom to design. This segment highlights the designers by showing their personal style and imagination. The designers will model their pieces to showcase that one does not need to be limited in expression.
