Soft Focus

Close-up photo of a model wearing a blush see-through corset with exposed boning channels, hand ruching, and beading details. The top of the skirt can also be seen; it has an asymmetrical liquid organza drape across the front.

This look is an exploration of transparency. The corset nylon mesh has ruched and beading details.

A shot of the top three-quarters of the gown, showing the volume of the tulle skirt underneath the drape. The corset design flows cohesively with the skirt.

The fullness of the skirt

A spinning shot of the full look shows the multiple layers of tulle in the skirt and gives a better look at the volume that is achieved as well as the movement the look can have.

The volume and movement of the skirt

This is a back view shot and shows the lace-up closure of the corset, ruching, and beading that carry over from the front, and how the asymmetrical standing shoulder piece sits in the back. The skirt has an asymmetrical back drape that falls to a train on the side of the skirt.

This collection is an exploration of transparency and self-reflection: a peeling back of layers to reveal what lies hidden underneath. Colors are allowed to peak through the layers of chiffon and organza rather than dominate, shifting with movement and light. Reflective surfaces and fluid silhouettes mirror the wearer back to themselves, blurring the line between inner and outer worlds.
