As a fashion major, you have to find a balance between what you see in your head & what you you can make walk down the runway; a paralyzing struggle at times. For my current project, I am oh so excited to share that it's the first time something has turned out EXACTLY like it did in my head. My initial idea for my Dallas Career Day competition garment was to make a simple saque dress with a pleated buttress back and sheer 'wings' that connect to wristlets. Along the way, I decided to add a screen print to give the wearer incentive to "spread her wings".
Screen print ideas ran from Rorschach prints to finger prints but I finally settled on one that would truely resonate with fashion insiders.
I wanted an image that spoke volumes about what matters to fashion now & something that would make a bold statement. I believe that I pulled it off.
I chose a silver base coat with periwinkle highlights to make the original holographic reflections stand out. The chiffon I used is iridescent, so I definitely didn't want anything too flashy or glitzy.
