RESORT 24:
An Ode to the Sun
In the winter of 2023, I was asked to participate in a fundraiser hosted at the University of Minnesota to raise awareness for food insecurity, called the Iridescence Fashion Show. The student government had a huge role in the show, from organizing the venue to reaching out to individual designers such as myself.
For Resort 24, I wanted to create a collection that revolved around my version of idealized femininity & springtime- largely inspired by design aesthetics of the past. Playful, feminine colors, elegant shapes, and freeform lace are recurring motifs that seamlessly blend to create an imaginative, vintage collection that is reminiscent of classical vacation wear.
