DESIGN | knitwear | construction

My inspiration for knitwear was a carousel. I used the lines in the architecture to create the patterns and yellow to represent the lights on the merry go round.

Material | 100% Alpaca Wool

DESIGN | tailoring | construction

My inspiration for this coat was the Gibson Girl and the Edwardian Period in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I incorporated my inspiration in the ruffled collar and the femininity of the details in the front princess seams and the back detail.

My inspiration for bodywear was the beach. I incorporated the colors of the sand, sky, and water and made two bathing suits and two cover ups.

DESIGN | textile hair dress and dyed dresses

This was a group project where we had to design a non-apparel textile dress. We chose to make a dress out of hair. We also had to dye a synthetic material and natural material with the same dye to see what the dye did to different fabrics.

Material | Hair extensions and spices used to dye
