Concept Statement: <\/strong>For my Art2Wear 2020 collection, I took inspiration from action painter Jackson Pollock and silhouettes worn by 80s icons. I began with the goal of creating looks with a futuristic punk feel. In order to combat the fast fashion mentality, I have designed pieces with interchangeability in mind so that the garments can be switched around to create many different looks. I wanted to play with different, contrasting textures in my collection, so I combined the strength of denim with the lightness of tulle. I layered teal, pink, purple, and white paint splattered on the denim garments, bags, shoes, and earrings in my collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the inspiration behind your collection?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What were the main fabric or fabric manipulation processes you used in your garments?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What will you take away from your time working with Art2Wear?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am grateful for the opportunity to create a collection, improve my skills in sewing and design, and receive mentorship and critiques from my professor, Precious Lovell, and my classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has Covid-19 affected your collection, if at all?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I was still able to complete my collection as planned, however, due to Covid-19 I was unable to use models to show my completed looks. Though it was strange having studio online, I was happy to have the extra time to spend with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have already designed for Art2Wear, how has this year been different?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Although there was no fashion show this year, I was still very excited to participate in Art2Wear. Since completing last year’s collection, I have grown as a designer and learned new techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n
