PCA Talks x About Design Week present Alumna & Fashion Designer Randi Barry

With a passport boasting stamps from 33 countries and counting, fashion designer & alumna Randi Barry draws inspiration from diverse cultures and landscapes enjoyed during her travels around the globe. Her recent foray into the fashion world culminated in the successful inaugural launch of her brand, showcased at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and featured in Episode 1 of ‘Hot Yachts Miami’. In 2023, she presented collections at Miami Swim Week and Paris Fashion Week.

Randi’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, ‘Summer on the Seine,’ is more than just a collection; it’s a tribute to the collective efforts to clean up the Seine River, aligning with the anticipation of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Sustainability is the heartbeat of Randi‘s designs, emphasizing a commitment to a living wage for the predominantly female garment workers shaping the industry.

Randi’s Paris Fashion Week show in October 2023 also marked the debut of her own print, ‘Toile de Sea,’ which merges her exploration of Toile de Jouy during her time studying Fashion in Paris with her experiences as a seafarer. She also showcased a debut jewelry collaboration with a local designer which featured shell rings and earrings as well as pearl chokers.

Randi‘s impact has gained global recognition, with features in prestigious publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar.

Randi is set to unveil the ‘Summer on the Seine’ line at Hughes Uptown in Victoria, BC, Canada, in March 2024, followed by a showcase in Paris in May 2024.
