"Woman in Power" Blazer
A 90s Mugler inspired blazer from my Spring semester in Florence. My design idea comes from an appreciation for drastic representations of femininity and the duality of being a woman in the professional world.
Custom Corset
During an elective class on on corsetry, I constructed a custom fit corset for a 14 1/2 inch hip spring. I was inspired by historical corsets featured at the KSU Museum, specifically referenced in the trim of ribbon woven through the lace pattern.
One Love Knit Vest
This vest was digitally knit for my cousin, Elliot, after we lost his father, my uncle. He was not only an amazing father, but an amazing person that helped raise many kids (like me) and always helping struggling or disabled people in our community. He taught us the power in laughing and living a "One Love" mentality.
Fur Lapel Duster
The fabric was donated to me and the fur was up-cycled from a deteriorating fur poncho I found in a vintage store.
My concept is based off the idea of a woman wearing nothing underneath. I was intrigued by the idea of streakers, but I wanted to change the narrative to a strong woman going to surprise someone special.
