The challenge was launched this summer to identify and support emerging fashion designers through a national challenge inviting applicants to submit creative concepts that best bring to life the Luminous Diamonds brand philosophy, “Follow Your Inner Light,” with an innovative, fashion-forward garment design.
An esteemed panel of industry judges selected Sarah Solnet, a 2020 FSF Scholar and Fashion/Apparel Design graduate from Iowa State University, as the winner of the “Design Your Inner Light Challenge.” Sarah designed a garment inspired by the “Luminous Woman”—a person who symbolizes the inner light we all carry—with supermodel/entrepreneur and Luminous Diamonds advisor Coco Rocha as the muse. Sarah is receiving a $10,000 grant to be applied to her educational expenses. Additionally, her look will be fully realized and then worn by Rocha.
