My name is Allie Gross.  I am an adoptee, born in South Korea and raised in New Jersey. I am forever grateful for a life full of opportunity and the chance to pursue my dream career in the fashion industry.
 
I am a graduate of Kent State University with a B.A. in Fashion Design.  January of 2018, I studied abroad for the semester in Florence, Italy.  I absolutely loved being able to travel Europe, expand my world view of the fashion industry, and create unforgettable experiences with friends and peers.
​
I grew up always knowing I wanted to pursue fashion design.  Everything from sketching to up-cycling my old clothes, or going to The MET every time there was a fashion exhibit. 

While studying at Kent, I realized the importance of fashion worldwide and the powerful impact on the global economy.  This has enhanced my belief that fashion design can be used as a voice for something greater.  I know that fashion trends are closely followed around the globe and I hope to use my passion to help make a difference.
