My collection answers the following question: What if I owned and operated a casino in a timeless Las Vegas? I gave myself the task of designing clothing for the entire experience. My goal for this collection was to design eye-catching pieces that blur the line between costume and everyday dress, telling the story of a casino, from its uniforms and merchandise to the costumes for an in-house burlesque show. I hoped to create modular pieces that impress both passive and frenzied glamour seekers.
