Parsons School of Design:
Campus Lookbook

We’re here to take notes from the fashion students at Parsons School of Design in New York

Back-to-school dressing is always tricky, but having the right accessories and outfit combinations can help make it easier. To get inspiration, we look to the fashion majors at Parsons School of Design in New York City — their refreshing takes on our collection of campus-friendly staples makes for the perfect moodboard.

Kristina Michelle Ang

With its soft, slouchy shape and distinctive grommet detailing, the Liv hobo bag is as practical as it is stylish. The Parsons alumna demonstrates that it’s the perfect companion for long days in the auditorium.

Metallic details give your outfit an instant edgy factor — our silver Mary Jane flats and the chain attachment on the Andromeda tote add striking elements to Kristina Michelle Ang’s dark neutral outfit.

What Parsons
Students Are Wearing

The Lyla tote and the Liv grommet hobo bag are fashion-school-approved.

Aisha Zhanseit

A statement bag can help anchor an all-black outfit, and Aisha Zhanseit has chosen to go for the Sianna tote in pewter to create an eye-catching contrast.

Karina Nasywa

In a playful take on a classic scholarly staple, the MFA Fashion Design and Society student pairs her plaid skirt with a floral-print mesh top and black jeans. She finishes the look with platform Mary Janes and the Liv grommet hobo bag for a subtle grunge-inspired vibe.

Elizabeth Alice

When it’s cold out, the Lyla tubular tote is the bag to reach for — its elongated handles loop easily over coats and winter layers. Elizabeth Alice wears it with a peacoat and jeans to create an effortless, put-together ensemble.

Isabelle Huan

To match the creamy fur trims of her jacket, Isabelle Huan opts for the Andromeda XL tote. The chain attachment stands out against her minimalist look and gives it character.

Olive Eng-Canty

Having mastered the art of layering, fashion designer and Parsons senior Olive Eng-Canty’s outfit consists of an argyle-patterned cardigan, an oversized tee, a lacy underlayer and a plaid skirt. To tie her relaxed ensemble together, she opts for our mesh Mary Jane sneakers and nylon slouchy shoulder bag.

Laura Phan

Laura Phan creates depth in her neutral outfit by wearing sheer stockings under shorts. As a nod to the schoolgirl aesthetic, she completes the look with our platform Mary Janes and the Lyla tote.
