I’m Gabriella Pangborn, a fashion designer, model, and entrepreneur from New Jersey with a lifelong love for fashion, creativity, and the beach.

I’m currently studying Fashion Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where I’m also pursuing my interest and studying Business Marketing and Entrepreneurship.

At just 14 years old, I founded Alona’s Apparel, a fashion brand of my own. What began as an idea I dreamed about as a teenager is now becoming a reality as I continue to develop my skills and bring my vision to life through my work at SCAD.

Alongside fashion design, I’ve built experience through modeling, creative collaborations, and working in the fashion and retail industries. I’ve had the opportunity to model in SCAD’s fashion shows, work with SCAD fashion design students, and receive runway and modeling coaching through Coco Rocha’s Modeling Camp. These experiences have helped me grow both creatively and professionally while giving me a deeper understanding of the fashion industry from different perspectives.

My background has taught me the importance of creativity, hard work, and turning opportunities into something meaningful. Through Alona’s Apparel and my own work as a designer and model, I hope to continue creating, learning, and building a career that combines my passions for fashion, business, and entrepreneurship.
