In March of 2019 the Redding Fashion Alliance, a non-profit organization located in the Redding Cultural District, announced the first ever award recipients of the Kimberly Nicole Woods Boney Emerging Fashion Designer Fund. Two applicants were chosen based on design submissions and presentations. Elevia Ramirez and Katie Noll were chosen to each receive a $1000 cash award for collection development. In addition to the cash award they also received ongoing mentorship, 1 year of fashion design studio access at Redding Fashion Alliance, and no cost access to all workshops and classes offered by the organization. 
After months of cutting, sewing, and fitting their collections were revealed on the runway at the second annual Fashion Show Gala. Elevia's Collection included 9 mix and match looks with accessories and embellished details. Katie's collection included 5 looks that were inspired by an American in Paris with plaids, hand-painted fabrics and modern shapes.

A Parisian in Redding by Katie Noll
