The theme of my collection is centered around the majestic lotus, which is where it gets its name from. The flower represents rebirth, perseverance, strength, and beauty. A quote that has always stuck with me by Suzy Kassem is “Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower…even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud, it does not allow the dirt that surrounds it to affect its growth or beauty.” I believe that women are like flowers, seemingly just soft and delicate but actually resilient. For that reason, I encompassed small details of nature under the symbolism of the unique lotus flower in my line, like using real flower petals, recycled fabrics, and lotus-themed colors. The clothes were made to be elegant, flowy, and slightly extra for the strong women who want to make a statement.
