Once A Marist Fashionista, Always A Marist Fashionista
Alumni and Fashion Findings contest winner, Alyson Morilla Graves, is a former design student and winner of the 1997 Silver Needle Award. Alyson’s exceptional designs were highlighted with picture postcard scenery encompassed by a sophisticated earthy feel. Her inspirations came from stunning western scenery such as canyon views and mountainous vistas. Alyson’s flowing luxurious fabrics incorporated suede, leather, and fur that wooed the judges and the audience!
After college, Alyson accepted a design position with prestigious designer Ann Taylor. While working at Ann Taylor she quickly moved up the ranks to head dress designer. During Alyson tenure, she was able to travel throughout Asia and Europe designing and forecasting the latest trends.
Today Alyson lives in Brooklyn with her husband Scott and their two daughters Clover and Marni. While fashion will always be part of Alyson’s life, she has recently taken a leave of absence but hopes to return to the fashion world in the near future.
