How many garments will be in your collection?
My collection will consist of 8 garments.
What is the central theme or concept in your collection?
I call my collection "Noah's Ark," every garment will
represent an animal that encompasses the earth. It will either mimic
the image of an animal or actually be made up of the animal's characteristics.
How would you best describe your design style?
I feel my design style can be viewed as haute couture yet wearable.
How and when did you become interested in design?
It's been my childhood dream to design. Since the age of four or
five, when I was creating outfits for my Barbie's and dolls I knew
this was what would make me happy.
What types of silhouettes will you be presenting?
I will be presenting eight eye-appealing silhouettes.
What was (were) your inspiration(s) for this collection?
My inspiration for this collection comes from the love I have for
animals. I also wanted to emphasize the beauty of all natural products.
Now a days, with technology and its creations of new fibers it's
nice to look back to the roots of where fabrics actually come from!
What fabrics will you be using?
In my collection I'll be using a variety of silks, leathers, furs,
and some cottons all of which come from a natural resource.
What important detail work should be noticed?
I would like for you to notice the overall presentation each garment
depicts. See if you can guess what each garment is trying to say
or be.
What designer(s) do you admire, or would most like to work with
and why?
When I think of a designer, I think Donatella Versache. I feel a
connection with her in that we're both very bold, and independent
women. To me her sense of style says glammy, and sexy. I feel working
for her may add a new edge to my semi-casual and sometimes conservative
style of design.
Describe yourself as a designer in five words or less.
Unique! Different yet not shocking!
Other interests or hobbies?
My life revolves around a life of health and fitness. In addition
to this I enjoy all sports. I participate in a full week of aerobics,
kickboxing, weight training, and a weekly game o f competitive basketball.
Ask any of the designers from the show I'm probably the most disciplined
person they know, when it comes to a healthy diet. They always see
me in the halls munching on good snacks or my lunch, which I usually
bring from home.
