This collection is entitled Augury which means to prognosticate or predict the future. I looked particularly at the way nature will find a way to reclaim itself even met with the obstacles of concrete and pollution. Visually, I’m drawn to the whimsical ivy covered cottage of fairytales, and I am interested in exploring how it acts as the polar opposite of the concrete jungle I call home.
My collection is unisex and focuses on hand knitwear and suiting. I design clothes, not the bodies that choose to wear them.

Vest + Knit Sample - Prior to losing access to the studios, I developed the leaf-like hand knit pattern (seen in the finished sweater vest) and programed a similar pattern for the Shima SSR knitting machine (seen in the green swatch)

Senior_5_Suiting - This collection started with focusing in on suiting. I wanted the tailoring to be a grounding force in the collection. All the beading on the floral suit is done by hand.

Harness/Suspender Exploration - I looked at suspenders as a masculine-type lingerie and explored how this could change the wear of a simple white tank top and black school boy short. Hardwear became an integral part of the collection.

Cross Stitch Face Corset and Bralette - These are the pieces and process of this collection post-quarantine. I took the time to develop this face cross-stitch pattern and the bralette.
