“I don’t want to lose the idea of dreaming.”2 (Mower, 2017) This collection sees nature as a “quintessential romantic concept”3 bringing a dreamy aesthetic to fashion garments which feel mysterious and magical. Eco print and dyes connect fashion to the beauty of nature, creating an ethereal and fantasy world, giving the wearer and viewer hope and optimism. Designs are inspired by bridal wear, ancient Chinese history, and fantasy, and how these themes are built upon an appreciation of the natural world.
