Roots of the Future: College of Design Senior Show

Voyage Across Traditions A Wedding Line

Clothing

Baileys Harbor, WI

B.S. clothing design

My style uses seams as important design elements.  I flat patterned instead of draping, which lends a structured look.  I like to add small details to add a little personality to the garment.  I take emotional inspiration into consideration when designing; each piece is meant to carry a "feeling". The four pieces of my line are based on a country and a theme of love.  American is love at first sight, Portuguese is tragic or lost love, Turkish is sensual love, and the French is ultimate romance.  I designed this line to show that a wedding dress does not need to be typical.  A wedding dress can and should show a woman's individuality.
