Look 1 - Fragility of Emotion

Knit dress.
Made from grey kid mohair and ivory ribbon



Look 2 - The Craving of Intimacy


Open knit dress.
Laddered jersey knit- cotton knit dress.

Created to portray the feeling of highs and lows and the vulnerability that comes with both of these emotions. The open areas show how you try your best to hold yourself together despite sometimes failing while the solid areas along with the various linked panels show the consistency within oneself.
 
Look 3 - Failure to Hide

Double layered top and skirt.


The double layers of these garments show the darkness that can often take over the good moments and the intrusive urge to self sabotage. The ladders enable the under layer, representing
the good, to show through. The soft yarn is used to represent the comfort that we feel within this cycle. 

Look 4 - Inconvenient Vulnerability


Open knit sweater with mini skirt and knit top.

This look shows the complication that comes with trying to figure everything out, the constant battle to cover up and hide our struggles but the difficulty to do so as with everything in the public eye, we’re always exposed. 

Look 5 - In Denial of Falling Apart

Pointelle and laddered top and skirt.

Grey polyester, cotton blend with yellow ribbon.


This look represents being comfortable and confident while still feeling seen by the public eye. It’s trying to show the parts of yourself that you appreciate while keeping the other parts private and putting up a front as to who you really are and what you’ve experienced.
