Dominic Ciucci

Hometown: Toledo, Ohio
Collection: Urchin
Three words to describe his collection: Architectural, textured, stark

Denim abounds in Urchin, a collection from Dominic Ciucci that works to elevate the perception of the iconic textile. Inspired by brutalism and deconstructivism, the collection explores unconventionality through textures, materials, and construction. Ciucci first pursued an architecture degree at The Ohio State University before enrolling at CCAD, noting his design process has changed from a strict and practical mindset needed for architecture success to something more explorative and organic. A recent Fashion Week Columbus scholarship recipient, Ciucci aspires to work in a couture atelier with the best brands, textiles, and seamstresses.
