THE ART OF

MOURNING

SPRING/SUMMER 2025 GRADUATE COLLECTION

After hosting a hair cutting party for my friends and loved ones I designed, patterned and constructed my three look graduate collection featuring everyone’s hair. Inspired by the haunting and intimate natural of Victorian mourning art, The Art of Mourning pushes the boundary of wearable art.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

FINAL PROJECT

SPRING/SUMMER 2024

During my internship in 2024 with Saks Fifth Avenue, I was sponsored to create one look which includes techniques I developed through my time with the Alterations team. Because my curriculum focused on evening wear and leather garments, I was inspired fuse my two interests and design an evening wear look featuring leatherwork techniques.

THE GREAT WHITE SHIRT

SUPIMA COTTON SPONSORSHIP

FALL/WINTER 2024

During my final year in Drexel’s fashion design program, I was challenged to design a piece with no 2D ideation, working only in space with 100% cotton shirting. My Great White Shirt features hand dyed stripes which emphasize the twisted drapery.

I spent the summer of 2023 studying abroad at the London College of Fashion. While there I went on a beautiful roadtrip through the Yorkshire Moors which inspired me to create a texturally dense hand dyed wearable textile. Eventually, I designed a skirt and top to complete the look.

WOOL Bomber

FALL/WINTER 2023

The oversized wool bomber is inspired by vintage aviator jackets, but with an avant-guarde twist of a lined cutter shell and a triple lapel collar. The wool bomber features my skill of working with wool using traditional tailoring techniques. My model, MC, wears a hand painted compression top and the leather scrap skirt underneath.
