For my senior portfolio show, I designed and made an evening wear collection which illuminated using fiber optic wiring. Teaching myself the basics of electrical engineering, I designed each dress using sheer fabrications and paneling to conceal all wiring.

Using high luxe fabrics, this collection is inspired by boudoir-wear. With garter detailing, the wearer is able to transform her silhouette, creating soft drapes and manipulating hemlines.

This resort collection embodies the sea and the vessels which journey amongst her. Using fluid fabrics and chiffons, the designs shape and shift as though in a surrealism painting.

Transformation

For Spring, we look at what it's like to be reborn, to transform from our resting state. With button and zipper detailing, this collection allows the wearer to transform her own garments. The linear seaming symbolizes the act of shedding and movement of transformation.
