UnveiledEdge's Undiscovered

Featured: Undiscovered Fashion Designer: Olivia Grzasko

Chicago turns out some of the most promising prodigies, take Barack Obama for example. And our very own, Olivia Grzasko, just 20-years-old, is well on her way to joining a handful of the greats bread out of Chi-town.

Grzasko has spent countless hours and nights designing, sewing and beading her own personal pieces inspired by the likes of Dita Von Teese. She is most known by those around her for her work in women’s apparel and one-of-a-kind dresses she designs (See bottom of post for pics).

In just her first year of college at Michigan State University, where she double majors in textile apparel and design and journalism, she competed in Michigan State’s very own Project Runway. The event was hosted and judged by Nick Verreos, a former “Project Runway,” contestant. Although, she did not place, Verreos was very impressed by the artistry of the only freshman competing in the competition.

In her sophomore year at MSU, Grzasko applied and got accepted into a one-year program at the prestigious fashion school in New York City, FIT. Here at UnveiledEdge, we are sure she will only become a greater talent than she already is because nothing will stop this one from making it to the top!

Grzasko is currently designing costumes in Chicago this summer and reporting on fashion topics including where to find great vintage from the "windy city," for UnveiledEdge, so make sure to keep up with what this up and coming designer has to say!
