About

Nathalia Olvera is a first-generation Latina college student who is a semester away from graduating with a Bachelor's in Fashion Design at Colorado State University. Born and raised in Colorado, she found her passion in design because of how she could communicate complex ideas through unconventional shapes and colors. During her time at CSU, she slowly began to venture into the world of avant-garde design and has had two pieces walk down the annual CSU fashion show. Recently, she began her internship with NYC-based costume designer Ryan Park, where she is learning the ins and outs of the industry.  In May, she will be showcasing her senior collection "Apoptosis" which includes 5 looks inspired by the idea that defective cells must commit voluntary suicide in order to make room for new ones to regenerate.
