ECLIPSED WINGS My Senior collection theme and inspiration for Eclipsed Wings came from my feather like fabric. I took ornithology terms such as the eclipsing of wings and molting of birds and paralleled it with human emotion. My collection explores personal change, growth and renewal. I used themes of transparency to express the vulnerability of those emotions. After evaluating my limitations, I decided to abandon the use of typical silks and focused on sourcing exceptional novelty textiles that were on the unconventional side. Silhouettes remained simple and classic. I kept the palette black and white, focusing on mixing textures. The design and sewing process took 11 months, from first drawing to final dress. Before fitting and construction, we were required to choose a customer and research accordingly. I choose the category of special occasion wear for young starlets such as Miley Cyrus, Emma Watson, Emma Stone, or Hailee Steinfeld. The outfits feature separate, cocktail, and gowns and are intended to be acceptable for a wide range of events from the MTV Awards to the Grammys and beyond.

We are taking cues from the 50’s. Channeling subtle sexiness and effortless elegance. Flirty tones are contrasted with hints of rebellion, like that of the greasers and rock ‘n roll of the era. Sleek lines of vintage lingerie and retro cars inspire seaming and garment details. New looks and new silhouettes. This is the new classic.
