Collection: “Ambience of Romance”
The central theme of this collection revolves around and plays on the idea of romance
as it is influenced by Romanticism and by the Empire period in history. The collection
is a twist of the old world and the modern, with silhouettes found in the 19th century
and a color pallet resembling the colors found in nature during the spring. The high
waists and stiff bodices make the look youthful and feminine, while the gathering
and pleating add detail to a simple silhouette. As a designer who looks to history, art,
and emotion for inspiration, this collection best resembles my design style. Both the
silhouette and the colors play up a flirty feel of a girl in love!
