Sasha Walton '13

From an early age, Sasha Walton knew that she wanted to make her mark in the fashion world. After teaching herself to sew and construct her own garments, Sasha discovered and applied to the Fashion Design program at Mount Mary. The program turned out to be a launchpad for her future fashion career, opening doors to new possibilities. 

While a student, Sasha spent hours perfecting her craft. She became proficient at sewing and also learned the importance of patience and perseverance. Determined to carve out her creative niche, she modeled her designs in the student fashion show during her sophomore year.  

Since graduating, the ambitious fashionista has shown designs on runways around the world. Sasha’s “Goddesses of Power” collection was featured in London’s African Fashion Week, and her work has appeared on runways from the Midwest to Milan. She also had the opportunity to work with an online fashion retailer to develop a mass-produced line of clothing, opening the door to affordable and accessible fashions for women.  

Sasha hopes to help redefine beauty standards with her elegant and inclusive designs.  

“I want women to feel beautiful clothes that are flattering within a range of ages and body shapes; to remember their own sense of self-worth,” she says. Never lose sight of who you truly are.”
