My name is Bella Bolin, I am a junior this year at Ohio University, studying Retail and Fashion Merchandising. I have an interest in styling, fashion design, and costume construction and have taken classes that challenge my goals. I originally started my freshman year as a Secondary English Education major but found my love for fashion after involvement with Thread.

I started working with Thread in 2022 which was my first semester at OU and was welcomed by the wonderful executive team. I had the most interest working with the fashion team as well as modeling for the issues. My first shoot was the Birkenstock shoot and my favorite shoot I’ve been a part of was the disco shoot from the Music issue in 2024. I have continuously returned to Thread throughout my freshman and sophomore year, and now am on the executive team! I am so thankful to be working with so many great creative people to produce an fabulous magazine.
