The video for “This Is What You Came For,” Calvin Harris’s most recent single — the track’s featured star, Rihanna, bounces from virtual reality to virtual reality via projections on the walls of her cube. It has already racked up more than 35 million YouTube views. In the music video, Rihanna is wearing a sparkly, glitter jumpsuit. “This Is What You Came For” features just one look, designed by a recent Pratt graduate named Isabel Hall as part of her senior thesis.

According to W Magazine, “That sparkly fabric, I fell in love with it immediately,” 22-year-old Hall said of her design. “I knew I wanted to use it and I didn’t know how, but I loved how super-feminine it was, but it was mesh, it was sheer, it wasn’t physically putting glitter on anything.” She planned initially to make a pair of boxers out of the fabric, but at the behest of a professor, she went bigger — full-body bigger. The resulting look, which first waltzed down the runway at the Pratt fashion show in May, is a study in carefree ease.

Though Hall is still feeling out her post-graduate options, with a Rihanna music video credit already under her belt, her future looks promising.

Hall first caught the eye of Rihanna's stylist Mel Ottenberg when he attended the school's graduate fashion show last month.It's not the first time Rihanna and Ottenberg have helped catapult a recent grad into fashion stardom: Everyone's favorite bad gal is also a fan of recent Parsons alum Matthew Adams Dolan. Says Hall, "Rihanna wears clothes with a confidence and an attitude that I think often go unrivaled, and she has always been at the top of my list of people I would want to dress. The fact that it happened with a piece from my thesis collection is something I could never have predicted, but am ecstatic to see!"

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
