As I Lay Dying, named after the 1930 William Faulkner novel, is based on the Southern Gothic literary style born in the war-torn South, and popularized by authors like Flannery O’Connor and William Faulkner. The series features garments by recent graduates of the Fashion Institute of Technology, and was produced almost entirely by FIT students and alumni.
