Hello! My name is Mary McCullough Humphrey. I am from Shreveport, Louisiana, and graduated in May '24 from Louisiana State University. I had the privilege of acquiring an apparel design degree and a minor in interior design. I am extremely passionate about fashion and everything it encompasses. Over the course of four semesters, I have learned how to bring my ideas to life. I am beyond eager to learn and further develop my design skills. Below are my collections and some of my design processes. I hope you see my improvement and enjoy!
My Collections
Espresso Cocktail Dress. Spring '24
I was really interested in creating cocktail inspired cocktail dresses, and capturing the feeling of taking a picture of a cute drink, but in this case, wearing it! Aperol spritz, the drink of the summer, Espresso martini, Sabrina Carpenter's drink of choice, and margarita, the best friend convo starter. I hope to create the rosemary shift, and the lemon drop martini next!

Quilted Color block Jacket. Fall '22
This cropped jacket was originally inspired by a Halston Jacket from the 70s. I wanted to use a quilted fabric and take inspiration from his Nehru collar. The other elements go with my futuristic military inspired style. Along with this jacket, you will find a quilted mini skirt, cargo pants, and a flight suit in this collection.
Pinstripe. Spring '22
This collection encompasses three pieces that can be dressed up or down. These are THE ultimate closet basics. Like Donna Karan's 7 pieces, I created three garments to make you look effortlessly chic in any setting. In this collection you will find the Knit, Pinstripe, and the Blazer.
The New Classic. Spring '22
This is a future collection I hope to complete, but The New Classic showcases my design process and my love for fashion sketches. I included a mood board to show the trends I noticed at this time. This Collection is elegant, sexy, and timeless.
Corduroy. Fall '21
This collection is made up of garments I created in the first semester I learned to sew. You will see boxer shorts, an A-line skirt, a pair of corduroy pants, and a sheath dress.
