Using fabric manipulation, I created a flowing train skirt that lets the light pass through it.

My project is a tribute to the journey of breast cancer, inspired by Kim McCandless, who embodied strength and resilience. "Phase 1: Find Out" represents the vulnerability of diagnosis with sheer fabrics and delicate trims. "Phase 2: The Plan, The Battle" symbolizes the fight with a functional post-surgery bra and a robe resembling bandages. "Phase 3: The Angels Who Guide Us and The Ones We Become" features a robe with subtle angel wings. This collection embodies strength, love, and remembrance.
