Through a blooming desert oasis, a divine beauty stands amongst the dunes of sands and paradise, as vibrant violets, oranges ,and earthy greens collide together in a rich wonder of serenity and balance. To create a flowing texture, sand dunes and oases found in the desert became the main sources of inspiration, as I wanted the garments of the collection to keep a constant feeling of fluid movement. Keeping this in mind, the garments showcase a lot of drapery and beading.
