Her line: Annie Etzel
Her focus: With this collection you will see everything from formal and cocktail wear to casual wear.
Her style inspiration: The woman who is everything but common.
Spring clothing she can’t do without: Slip-style dresses, sheers and hats.

Four Baton Rouge clothing designers will debut their work at NOLA Fashion Week this month. Under the mentorship of award-winning local designer Ella Rose, LSU students Annie Etzel, Alex Engelhardt, Rachel Detloff and Maddie Louivere will bring their creations to the popular event’s runways for the first time.

“The focus of my collection is on contrast,” Louivere says. “The contrast of light and dark, hard and soft, feminine and edgy.”
