Maria Alita Wilkie is a native Huntsvillian born during the Space Age. Fashion has always been in her blood and it was envy of the 1950s, '60s and '70s wardrobes for Barbie that drove her to pursue a degree in fashion design. Even at a young age she loved to watch old movies, mostly just to see the costumes, thus giving her a penchant for vintage style as well. Maria thrives on combining the sophistication of the cut of couture with the edginess of punk, the novelty of historical style, and the ethereal in art, music and literature. Her designs are crafted with couture methods, being made according to specific body measurements and using flat-pattern methods of design. Presently, Maria is an instructor in fashion design at Alabama A&M University. She has a home studio and can be contacted at 256.585.5138 or mwilkie530@gmail.com.
Dennis Potter has worked in textiles, fibers, paper making, and wall-hung garments for over 15 years, often on Buddhist concepts. This AFA LookBook Issue features his second collection of wearable art. Potter most recently showcased his very first wearable art runway collection at the 2018 Fashion Week Alabama Spring Show in Huntsville, AL. He is thrilled to have such professional, welcoming collaborators as the Alabama Fashion Alliance team!
