2021 Winter Collection Debuting at Austin Fashion Week

I've completed my first independent collection!

It will debut at Austin Fashion Week at The Domain on Sunday, Dec 5 at 1:30pm.  I'm so excited to showcase my first collection at this amazing event.  

I've been working on this collection with my instructor Vee for the past ten months.  She's a great teacher that allows me to explore my creativity and helps bring my ideas to life. 

We started with just creating concepts and drawings with color pallets and figuring out who inspires me.  This collection is heavily inspired by Alexander McQueen, he is one of my favorite designers of all time. I've also included some aspects from cosplay characters.  If you watch the runway show, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Here's a quick clip that's a preview of what you'll see on the runway this Sunday.

I'm so excited my friend Ana will be modeling one of my designs.  Its so perfect for her!  My friend Seth also hooked my up with a model named Emma, she's only 17 years old and has already walked in New York Fashion Week this year.  I'm so lucky to have so much support from the amazing people around me!
