To prepare for classes being entirely in French, Watson began learning the language in 2013, taking classes at the Academy, and continuing her studies privately.
“I immediately said yes, I want that, and asked what I need to do,” she says. She made participating in the program a goal the second she found out about it during her first semester. Now in her final year in the School of Fashion, Watson will spend it in Paris studying at L’Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne as part of the Academy’s competitive Fashion Exchange Scholarship program. “The moment she came out, it was that moment when I decided this is where I want to be,” she said.
Each year the Academy invites a guest of honor from the fashion industry to attend the show, and that year it was Sarah Burton, creative director at fashion brand Alexander McQueen. Watson was later awarded crowd favorite during the surprise after-party.Īlyssa Watson grew up loving fashion, and realized Academy of Art University was the right school for her after attending the Academy’s Graduation Fashion Show in 2012. Watson was awarded first place by a panel that included members of the threeASFOUR design collective, Creative Director of Materialise Joris Debo, and Met Costume Institute Head Curator Andrew Bolton. Luckily she was able to enlist the help of a Met electrician who stripped the wires and taped them up just in time for the judging.
As soon as she did, the lights stopped working. Everything was going well for Watson until she made the decision to change the batteries on the fiber optic lights inside her dress to ensure they wouldn’t go out during the event. The semifinalists traveled to New York City for judging on May 17, 2016, and were given the opportunity to dress their designs on dress forms and make adjustments before the judges arrived. Hitting on the idea to use 3D printing to construct her glacier-inspired garment, Watson sculpted the initial piece in clay, scanned it, turned it into a computer model, and then 3D printed it. Watson soon found out she had been selected as one of 10 finalists (along with five other Academy of Art University students) and had a month to construct her garment and send it to the Met.
