The driving force behind my collection is the fabrics — both in terms of their quality and their print designs. Through the collection, I seek to explore the relationship between fabric and movement and the illusions they can create. These optical illusions are achieved by overlaying translucent silk organza on top of silk. Throughout the collection, print designs are repeated in different scales and combinations, with each variation creating a unique illusory effect. Designs combine feminine silhouettes with contemporary style to achieve the goal of empowering the modern woman with confidence. Garment quality, tailoring, and construction details come together and are important features carried cohesively throughout the collection.
