Bloom<\/em> by Madeleine Tharrington<\/h2>MADTech with a Fibers & Soft Construction Concentration<\/strong>

Bloom<\/em> is centered around the concept of something beautiful growing from darkness. Most women in our society are taught to fit a specific mold and are held back by systemic barriers and boundaries. This requires individuals to have to work that much harder after being torn down and told \u201cno\u201d so many times. The beauty of all individuals standing up against those who tear them down is in the strength they acquire to regrow after these tribulations. Each piece of Bloom<\/em> represents both the duality and cohesion of beauty and strength which is perfectly reflected by flowers, who seasonally die, but then regrow into something even more beautiful. This is portrayed in my collection through a combination of muted, dark tones, with vibrant and bright colors bursting through in embroidery and beading, flowers, and laser cut acrylic paillettes. Bloom<\/em> demonstrates kinesis through growth and regrowth involved in each look. I\u2019ve designed each look to not only demonstrate kinetic growth, but also inspire potential energy in all women to come back from any barrier or boundary and regrow into whatever they want to be. Your possibilities are limitless and not defined by those who tear you down.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nMeet the Art2Wear Committee Members<\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>
