Entry Description

I want to use my collection as a social platform for women who have and are still being manipulated in any circumstance. Being manipulated by my father and later many others, I never felt as though I had a voice. But today I am standing strong and I want all women to know their voices matter and that we can all stand together. I wanted to showcase women's strength with macrame techniques I created myself. My overall aesthetic for this collection is to highlight women's elegance. I designed my garments to be sophisticated in order to accentuate a women's natural beauty and desire for dignity.
