Fashion veterans, educators & creative producers who built Future Fashion Stars from a single Ohio summer camp into a nationwide program.

Krista
Founder

Krista

Founder Krista Allison is a trailblazer in fashion, known for her innovative fusion of creativity & environmental consciousness.

Email Krista

With over 20 years of industry experience, she has held executive roles at powerhouses like Ralph Lauren, J.Crew & Vince before pivoting to entrepreneurship in 2020.

Since then, Krista has launched multiple brands, including an athleisure collection & REGENERATION X The Love Generation, a sustainable women's line celebrating unexpected upcycled designs & vintage classics. Her passion for creating positive change in the fashion industry sparked the idea for a fashion camp for kids focused on teaching both style & sustainability.

She co-developed a curriculum with certified educators grounded in academic principles & real-world industry experience. What began as a single summer camp in Ohio has since expanded into a nationwide program offering after-school classes, pop-up workshops & multi-week summer camps.

Krista knew she was destined for fashion from the age of six, cutting & altering her clothes long before upcycling became a trend. Today, she is committed to inspiring & educating the next generation of fashionistas through hands-on learning, creative exploration & a deep commitment to sustainability. Her mission is to plant seeds of change, build community, foster creative confidence & raise conscious creators.

  • Started cutting up her own clothes at age six
  • Founder of REGENERATION X The Love Generation
  • Believes every scrap of fabric has a second life
