For my senior thesis collection, I meticulously designed bespoke beading on each garment to illustrate a whimsical narrative where nothing is as it seems, celebrating escapism and self-expression in her couture capsule collection, Reverie Between Realities. I created a space where the pressures of life are lost to time—a party where anyone can be free to embody whatever or whomever they choose without fear of judgment.
The silhouettes are rooted in the elegance and flair of the 1920s, capturing the boldness and fluidity of the era while adding a contemporary twist. Each piece is a nod to a time when fashion was about liberation, both in movement and form, blending jazz-age influences with modern aesthetics. Custom beading, machine embroidery, rich textiles, and couture techniques are combined to create a surreal and dreamlike world where time ceases, inhibitions are lowered, and the true self can emerge.
