Not long ago, I attended the Marie Claire’s Front Row Challenge with LOFT and Rimmel London here in Austin. The contest viewed submissions from students all over the country and chose four talented girls to produce a fashion show in the city of their university. Diya Liu, a chemical engineering senior, beat out hundreds of entries and won over three over finalists to win the Front Row Challenge. What did she win exactly? Opportunities to intern at Marie Claire, LOFT, and Rimmel London, that’s what. As I sat at the fashion show on the rooftop of super cool venue The Mohawk and watched Liu’s looks from LOFT (faux fur, cheetah print, bold red lips with chunky gold necklaces anchored with opaque leggings and booties) I couldn’t help but be inspired by this engineering student that allowed her passion for fashion to lead her down such a creative road and ultimately, success. Hook ‘em Diya, and lots of HC love from HC Texas.
