Marine Rongrong Wei, a B.F.A. Menswear Design alumna, grew up in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China, and graduated from the Xi’ An Academy of Fine Art. The inspiration for Marine’s menswear collection comes from vintage crafted clothing during the time of the Great Depression in the United States. She was interested in how people combined fabrics with different textures and weights, as well as the oversized silhouettes of that era. Since graduating this past spring, Marine is currently working as an Alteration Specialist at Uniqlo.
