Collection Title: Dandy

Bio

I am from a small city in eastern North Carolina called New Bern. I love hanging out with my little fluffy dog Raymond and of course anything crafty but mostly sewing. I’m not sure what waits for me after graduating in December but I’m excited to start this new period of life. My style classic, sleek, and fun. I would love to work with formal wear in the future. My inspiration comes from traditional menswear but transformed into beautiful gowns and dresses.

Collection Concept

The inspiration for this collection comes from traditional and vintage men’s dress wear that will be reworked into women’s event wear. Each look is modeled off a single article of men’s dress clothing from a reworked collared shirt to exaggerated suit jackets. The collections name comes from a word that was commonly used in the 1800s to describe a well dressed man who was devoted to style and their appearance. The collection has an understated neutral leaning color palette while adding amplified details. Although it is a women’s collection it can be worn by anyone who wants a feeling of understated elegance and drama while attending a lavish event. The collection is intended for the wearer to feel a heightened sense of self confidence while showing the freedom of expression. Ultimately the Dandy collection is to inspire a feeling of luxury.
