collection spring 2015
I originally started this collection with a theme in mind, young at heart. As a teenager about to graduate high school and experience this "real world" adults have been telling me about kind of freaks me out. I don't want all that responsibility, I'd rather stay an irresponsible, lazy teen who doesn't have to worry about marriage, bills, college debt, and a job. So theme seemed to fit but as you can see it's not to my liking. The top right and bottom left are the closest to the theme, one being a concept of dress up the other being cutetsy overalls. My favorite sketch was when I just ditched bounds of the theme and just drew what came to mind. The result was a more adult themed outfit about censorship and maybe some tie up bondage. These are rough ideas, and I hope to come to a final conclusion soon.

among the sea
My very first original design coming into the physical world. The coloring is very aquatic and had me thinking about how I could further push that idea. The solution ended up being simpler than expected, acrylic paint. The combination of polyester and acrylic was definitely a risk but we took it and I'm glad we did. The water color aesthetic of the dress really made the dress come close to the sketch. I loved working on this, the magical feeling of seeing the model's bright smiling face while wearing something I made was the best part of this. Definitely going to seek this feeling out more. Yall better look forward to more of this!!

sketch for 3
A sketch of a party dress that will hopefully turn out well in physical from. This is the final visual for the dress before working on the physical thing. I had to compensate for body shape and such to compliment the person who is wearing it. Thanks to the interest I have made a very important connection to one who's job is to work with clothing from home. Can't wait to start soon!

Teenage Years
Living The Dream
This peice is about the intense sexual and social pressure about whom is dating who and wether it's male or female. It's supposingly said that all men have a dream of being surrounded by beautiful women. That's what our male protagonist has gotten himself into but he's not to happy about it. It's clear they all want him so what's his problem? I thought all men enjoyed sex or is he just gay? Whatever the deal is, someone has offered him a way out.

That's only what I think of you.
Even in the company of others do I feel alone. I can see their fun that I should be having. Instead I'm just day dreaming of the day they'll talk to me. I really do hope that I come across in their minds one day. I hope....
they care.

Pretending to be yourself
This art piece represents my loss of my thought, It was a point where I didn't know where I was going. Nothing here represents anything, even if you found one, The description already has discouraged you. The person in the picture doesn't know who she is, you give her the identity. She is your words. Is she a smoker, a rebel, human trash? I don't know, you have that power.
