Classical styled clothing with a contemporary look.

I will be presenting an "hourglass" silhouette for my
evening designs (3 garments) and a classic, loosely tailored silhouette
for daywear (5 garments).
What was (were) your inspiration(s) for this collection?
I was inspired by European fashion - especially Italian designs
- with its soft tailoring and simple lines.
What fabrics will you be using?
Silks, cottons, and linens.
What important detail work should be noticed?
The finishing on the garments and the linings.
What designer(s) do you admire, or would most like to work with
and why?
I admire Italian designers, especially Giorgio Armani for his minimalist,
relaxed style and the wearability of his clothes.
Describe yourself as a designer in five words or less.
Minimalist, casual, contemporary.
Other interests or hobbies?
Quilting, fabrics, and costume history, especially the history of
Dutch folk costume.
