the relationship between complacency and chaos. The contrast of how you adorn yourself with your lifestyle. The juxtaposition of ones lifestyle against ones past and future creates this conceptual framework of a second skin we call clothing. The beauty behind the title “fashion designer”, for me, lives within the privilege I have to create that second skin for someone else; someone I may never meet. To know I have influenced someone else’s self expression is why I love to create.

pervasive. Compelling. A changing constant. It is unattainable desire that passes by in fleeting moments, only contained briefly to communicate where words cannot, and to capture break in time. However, fashion is problem solving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Form following functionâ&#x20AC;?. It is undeniably a platform that should not be taken lightly, and ultimately, a limitless opportunity for growth to influence great change.

Mom, for a creative kid with an imagination as big as his dreams, I couldn’t have asked for a better mother to nurture and care for whatever her little boy’s heart desired. Thank you for always allowing me to explore and be excited about life. I owe all i’ve accomplished to you. I love you mommy.

FASHiON TO ME iS.... THE EXTERNAL VOiCE SPEAKiNG FOR THE iNTERNAL FEELiNG

As an artist, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m inspired by an array

of ideas. In any garment I create or illustrate, the focus is on movement and silhouette; I want to entertain the eye with a silhouette that adds interest to the body. My artistic approach is similar to the hand-eye coordination of a painter. Seeing my parents dress up for formal occasions when I was 9 years old sparked my interest in design. Since then, I have believed fashion should be the external voice speaking for the internal feeling. I am fueled by the independence clothing once had. With that said, I want to create a different dynamic in the everyday appearance of an individual. MUSIC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdUsEtaS-c&list=PLXu_cA-xfxWvDeDXtZKfyHlWpmpL9t0wG

Thank you:

I would like to give Thanks to my classmates for encouraging me to find the confidence in myself. I would like to acknowledge the help and patience from my mother who gave me the emotional support I needed. I would like to share a big thank you to my boyfriend of 4 years, Ontae who motivated me to stay focused and guard me from destroying my mind with negativity. And lastly, Kyle. You are the only professor who saw my abilities before I did. You pushed me to do much greater things than I had envisioned. You pulled me out of the typical and mundane aesthetics and really made me play with my creativity. Thanks to you, my design became less forced and more of a visceral action.
