Freshly graduated from Pratt Institute, Cornelia Borgerhoff’s design is deeply rooted in her upbringing as a black girl in a predominantly white environment.
In her most recent collection, Acceptance Letter, she takes American classics such as hoodies, sweaters and rugby shirts and transforms them into contemporary menswear that pays homage to prep-school attire without forgetting about her own roots and experiences that make her pieces so relevant in our current cultural climate.
