THE LAST THING I EVER WANTED TO DO WAS TO MAKE YOU FEEL AMAZING

This collection is the narrative of a woman going through her second coming of age. Girlhood references to music, movies, and magazines coexist with the sportive elegance of an independent woman.  While the materials are lace, crochet, knit, georgette and crepe, the garments are casual and easy to wear. Handcraft techniques have been interpreted and translated into a contemporary concept that show a snapshot of a feeling and moments of progress on this woman’s journey.
