Collection Concept

Silver Screen is inspired by Old Hollywood Glamour if it was reimaged today. It is based off the silhouettes, colors, and patterns typically worn in that time. Each look is meant to resemble aspects of 1950’s fashion whether it’s the color, silhouette or fabric, and be reimaged to what someone would wear today to any event. The inspiration for this collection is from Emma love of all things fashion, the glitz and glamour of it all, and looking into more of some of the best periods of fashion, which definitely include 50’s Old Hollywood glamour. This collection hopes to bring new light to a once popular style of fashion.
