Force of Nature

This collection references some of the strongest and most catastrophic forces in nature to highlight the beauty of a truly powerful woman. Motifs of elevation maps are embroidered throughout the collection to evoke the fortitude of a mountain, while the hidden and transforming elements convey the idea that you never truly know about the powerful storm that could lie beneath the surface. This collection is designed for a force to be reckoned with.
