The 2024 Cornell Fashion Collective Runway Show featured Ryan Lombardi, vice president for student and campus life, sporting Cardinal Robinson’s ’24 design as part of his “Cities Unseen” collection. When we initially met, he explained to me how he develops a concept and the process for that becoming a tangible design and product,” wrote Lombardi in a statement to The Sun. “It was wonderful to interact with students in this capacity,” Lombardi wrote. Cardinal hoped to bring more attention to the fashion community from everyone on campus, and Lombardi was no exception. “I was exceedingly impressed with the creativity and effort that goes into developing a piece/collection and also the overall production of the entire show,” Lombardi wrote.
