Black Widow Collection:
Inspired by a spiders web glistening in the sun I created these designs using faceted gun metal beads to hand drape the spider web design.

Pagan Poetry Collection:
I designed this collection after hearing Bjork’s “Pagan Poetry” song..This collection is about a girl finding her soulmate and preparing for her marriage.

Art Nouveau Collection:
Spring collection inspired by Art Nouveau. French for New Art. Using fabrics that have floral or other plant-inspired motifs as well as highly-stylized, flowing curvilinear forms printed on them. The silhouettes have a Spanish influence creating a look that is sassy & modern with a sexy flair.

Imperial Garden Collection:
Inspired by a hidden little gem in Jackson Park, Chicago right by the Museum Of Science and Industry called Osaka Japanese Garden.

Erupted Love Collection:
This collection I hold near and dear to my heart as it is inspired by the Pacaya Volcano in Guatemala that I hiked up with my best friend who passed away in 2012..It also tells a story about a journey to keep going, keep moving up and reach your highest goal..Starting the collection with The “Journey Poncho” and ending the collection with The “Volcano Dress”.

Genetically MOD-ified Fashion Collection:
Inspired by modified chemically altered foods. The modern woman ingests things that affect the blood much more differently than they did back in the 60’s. Wishing to go back to simpler times this collection infuses blood, GMO food, honey and sugar encased in a 60’s mod silhouette.

 

Stardust Collection 2016:
I went to the David Bowie exhibit at the MCA in Chicago and was very much inspired by the costumes he wore that were on display. I love his music growing up and when he passed away it only made sense to create a collection inspired by him and his Ziggy Stardust days.
