Three words to describe his collection: Explore more options

Snowy Adder came to the world of fashion via video games—he loved outfits worn by characters in the Japanese video games he played, he says. Adder pays tribute to those interests in his collection Wild Skin, which features garments inspired by fantasy video games (think Elden Ring, Monster Hunter and the like) and wild animals. His pieces include chest armor made of hard leather—“it’s designed to give protection, not just for the appearance,” he says. In addition, each of his looks for the fashion show will have its own color theme and selection of materials. Adder is a sewing intern at Costume Specialists and hopes to someday create costumes for television shows or open up his own small costume shop. Thanks to CCAD, he says, “I’m more prepared for my career because I’ve learned the necessary skills.”
