Bloom and Repose

Two images of models wearing two different looks. Curly-haired model wears a lace balconette bra with attached blouse that appears to fall off, hook-and-eye tape in front. Same model wears a red, narrow organza skirt with laser-cut flower appliqués. In the second look, the model wears a navy taffeta bra top with laser-cut flowers dripping off and touching the floor. The same look has a capri pant with seams to outline a pair of panties.

Bloom and Repose is rooted in 90s ideas and aesthetics, blending sportswear and intimates. It plays with deconstructing conventional concepts of how clothing is worn, particularly as pertains to intimacy. Through suggestive details--like lingerie over outerwear, clothing slipping off the body, and the intentional and symbolic placement of floral motifs--the ultimate goal is to explore sensuality and intelligence, from the perspective of the female gaze, through pieces that resonate with nostalgic women.
