I’ve learned over the years through self-growth that the lotus, like women, represent strength, beauty, and resilience.

 

In my senior collection called “The Lotus” I created clothing that could render those features. You will notice lots of bright colors like green, pink, and purple included in the collection which are to help bring attention to the wearer. Those colors spark good moods which are positive qualities for those that hang around the wearer and the subject themselves. There are also lots of intricate ruffles and flared sleeves include in the clothes to help the wearer feel elegant which in turns helps boost their self-esteem.

​

 Overall, my concept is to create a nature-themed art that makes women know that they can be strong and beautiful even if they don't feel like it. I've heard one quote that's stayed with me forever and, it says that if you ever have a bad day where you don't feel well, dress twice as nice and it will make you not only look good but feel good as well.
