Withered
Multicolored strapless mermaid dress with frayed organza details and floral lace appliqué
Top bustier was inspired by layers of petals of a withered flower with needle picking into raw edge.
Layers petticoat uses 18 layers of strips to create flounce ruffles, one on top of the other.
Bronze novelty faux fur jacket with hand-appliquéd feathers and ruffled tulle skirt
The feather on the back extends from the waistline to the front collar with color range.
The withering process of life inspired my collection's theme. The poet Néstor L. Sequera's poem Withered Flower poignantly captures life's fleeting beauty. Despite their inevitable decay, flowers symbolize the cyclical nature of existence. Moved by this reflection, I aspired to create eternal flowers, preserving the sentiment of love and cherished memories. Just as the withered flower has endured a transformation, our bonds persist through time, enriching our lives with lasting beauty and meaning, even as the petals of existence gradually unfold.
