Reverie, meaning a state of being pleasantly lost in thought, is a collection inspired by daydreaming and the concept of escapism. By using elegant and feminine silhouettes, this collection creates a world of fantasy that encapsulates the gratifying feeling that daydreaming offers us. Gathers are used to add soft fullness, and sheer layers of fabric create depth and floating movement throughout the dresses. The bright colors also represent the vivid and ethereal imagery associated with daydreaming.
