Olivia Rubens

Olivia Rubens and her team took home second place for their conscious and innovative designs in a fashion design competition through the London College of Fashion in collaboration with the Cartoon Network and Powerpuff Girls. The goal was to design an outfit that reflected either all 3 Powerpuff Girls, or a villain from the show for their 20th anniversary. The finalists showed their work at an event at the Somerset House during London Fashion Week in February, 2018, focusing on the new talent and unique perspective of these upcoming designers. As a team comprised of Rubens, Angelo La Barbera (MA Womenswear LCF), Laura Ubeda (print designer, BA Textiles LCF), and Sofia Marina (print designer, BA Textiles LCF), we created a playful, sustainable look, made from organic peace silk materials, dyed and printed locally with sustainable pigments.
