Inside a shop at Worcester’s Midtown Mall, @Kariuki is designing apparel that strengthens the bond between Clark and the Worcester community. Kariuki is the founder of the @DeniedApproval clothing brand and the second city artist highlighted through CLARKxCOLLAB — a passion project launched last year by Joseph Corazzini, vice president for government and community affairs.

Each year, a city artist creates a limited series streetwear line specifically for Clark. Kariuki’s Clark designs will be available for purchase on campus during Family and Friends Weekend, Oct. 13–15.
