Senior Designer Profile: Talking Sportswear with Linnea Fong ’16

Linnea Fong ’16 is trying something new for her senior collection. Pulling inspiration from human movement and an internship at Nike, she’s taking a break from eveningwear at this year’s Cornell Fashion Collective Runway Show and instead focusing on a sportswear line. The Sun had an opportunity to talk with her about her background, influences, collection and love of backpacks. The Sun: How did you start designing? Linnea Fong: I’ve been designing since I was a freshman in high school.
