︎︎︎︎︎
is a fashion designer and artist based in New York. Mark graduated from Marist College in 2022, Summa Cum Laude, with a B.F.A. in Fashion Design and minor in Studio Art, with notable academic achievements including two awarding of the Fashion Scholarship Fund, the inaugural awarding of the Marty’s Light: The Marty Staff Scholarship, and the Marist College Award for Excellence in Fashion Design. In 2020, Mark launched IDNTTY, a post-streetwear label brand addressing the lack of queer representation in streetwear. As a queer-expansive, genderless label, IDNTTY challenges expectations of what a modern streetwear label can be, while building a community that embraces advocacy and self expression at the intersection of streetwear. The brand’s debut collection, "RIOT!" at the 36th Silver Needle Runway show in 2022, marked IDNTTY's evolution towards full collection production. Mark’s vision for IDNTTY encompasses defining a new space for genderless clothing in the streetwear sphere. Currently, serving as an Assistant Apparel Designer at Calvin Klein, Mark continues to build critical corporate design skills while further developing IDNTTY into an established small business.
