Logan Neitzel is a 26 yearold
up and coming fashion designer
from Seattle who expresses his
inner creativity through the clothes
he creates. He is hard working,
self reliant and confident; all this
stems from growing up in a small
town in southeastern Idaho with
a very strong,
close family.
"I remember
looking down at
my grandfather's
work-wornhands
when I was young
and thinking 'this
man has worked
his whole life
and every scar,
wrinkle,
and crack
told a
story ' ...
someday
I want to
look down
at my own
hands and
see the same
thing," said NeitzeL
As a kid he was described
as a loner and very independent.
After high school, Neitzel
branched out from his family and
went to the Art Institute of Seattle
where he received his associate
degree in fashion design. From
that point on he has debuted a
line in a Seattle fashion show,
has his own website that features

materials,
such as recyclables or
food, and this season,
a dress made out of
newspaper. Even under all these
tense circumstances, Neitzel
always seems to remain calm and
laid back on camera. He simply
does what he can do best and goes
with the flow.
However, his edgy fashion
designs aren't the only thing
getting attention on the show.
Neitzel has earned the reputation
of the "hot designer" by ill the
models on the show and even
some of his fellow designers;
designs that are avant-garde, edgy,
rocker chic, with just a twang of a
badass futuristic feel. He takes all
these different genres and creates
what he likes to refer to as "more
so as art than clothes." He follows
an artist approach to fashion in
comparison to the commercial
clothes worn by everyone
A good example of this
would be the black leather and
tulle gown that turns into a zipped
up romper when the tulle train is
detached. The sea of intricately'
sewn tulle plays off the sleek,
form-fitting leather that turns
the punk rock Cinderella into
a provocative hipster. He uses
leather, studs, torn up skinny
jeans, even a hint of tie-dye to
bring all these different elements
together.
Neitzel draws inspiration
from all sorts of fashion icons
and designers. He idolizes Karl
Lagerfeld, would love to dress
Kate Moss, and gets his ideas
from the latest issue of Vogue
magazine. Theyoung fashion
designer is making waves in the
fashion world and doing it with a
nonchalant style that critics and
women are eating up.
