Background on Cari Borja: This Gen Art San Francisco Fresh Faces alum started her collection while getting her doctorate in anthropology in Berkeley. After her collection -- a compilation of more than 40 outfits -- was presented at fashion week, a very pregnant Cari stepped out to receive an overwhelming round of applause.

Key Takeaways: "I was inspired by my daughter," Borja told us after the show. "She's two years old and she dresses herself in [different] shapes and colors." Borja captured youth through her choice of colors for the collection, as well as with the playfulness of ruffled hems.

Silhouettes: Tiered ruffle babydoll dresses, ruffle cardigans with ruffled sleeves, hooded, ruffled camisoles. Did we mention ruffles?
