Graduation 2023
Prom 2023
Slanted
Spine, 2023
Inspired by my shoulders and hips that sat one higher than the other for many years. The design and cut of the fabric is to give the allusion that everything is slanted.
Nerves
Spine, 2023
A design inspired by the nerve damage I have in my back after surgery to fix my scoliosis. All of the individual nerves are hand embroidered in the colors of blue, red, and gold.
Shattered
Spine, 2023
Design inspiration comes from the pain in my ribs that I felt throughout middle school. The paint felt as though my ribs were shattering and I was being torn apart.
Butterfly cage
Spine, 2023
A nod to my first back brace that was patterned with butterflies. At the time I was extremely distraught at the thought of having to wear the brace and felt as though I was trapped in a cage.
Max Mood
Fall, 2023
Part of a 3 look mini collection thats styles were created after choosing the fabrics. One of my best more masculine looks comprised of silks, lace, and patterned fabrics. Along with a very chic look to the right that uses lace to add dimension.
Two Countries
Two Countries, 2021
After researching the two countries: Armenia and Barbados traditional fashion I created this outfit inspired by the two.
Twilight & Midnight
Sunset Series, 2023
Twilight on the left and Midnight on the right are two designs from my Sunset Series mini collection. In these two designs the rococo motifs of florals and ribbons help create a cohesiveness between the looks.
Dusk
Sunset Series, 2023
A design from a small collection that uses a color palette inspired from a sunset. This design uses bows and ruching to create the rococo look, while still maintaining a punk aesthetic. This design is one of the more toned down designs of the collection.
Daybreak
Sunset Series, 2023
One of the more extravagant designs of the collection. Using layering to fill out the skirt and gold stitching on the jacket to create a pattern similar to filigree. This design definitely stands out as it is the only one that has a floor length skirt.
Dawn
Sunset Series, 2023
The final design of the sunset series collection, Dawn uses an abundance of ruffles to reference the Rococo styles along with pearl beading and floral patterns. This design is very fun and more whimsical compared to the others.
Max Mood
Fall 2023
Two out of four designs in a mini collection that uses color and silhouette to make a sleek and confident look.
Suit of Armor
Spine, 2023
Another design from Spine, Suit of Armor shows both the strength and pain that the back brace gave me. It both made me feel solid and indestructible like I was wearing armor, but it could also cause extreme discomfort.
