Patchwork of the Hilltop Village
Lacoste is overwhelmingly open with its vast views as if existing within a painting. This Fall collection is meant to attract individuals who seek adventure and act on their spontaneity. Influenced by the mosaic motifs here within Lacoste and neighboring towns, I have created a collection of patterns that are meant to be worn on free flowing garments such as light weight scarves, maxi dresses, and other clothing with a dance like quality. Clothes that are meant to be live in with patterns reminiscent of local architecture alongside organic forms of medieval symbols.
Floral Frenzy
Inspired by the thistle flower, I sought to capture its explosive spikes and prickly stems through a simple yet chaotic mark making tactic. This design emphasizes the flower’s protective nature, symbolizing strength in beauty. Using watercolor and colored pencils, I created motifs arranged in half-drop repeat using Adobe Photoshop and Procreate. The thistle’s natural defense mechanism resonates with my own journey towards independence and self-reliance.
Crystal Bay
From the glass like water to the towering pines, Lake Tahoe has become the definition of a sweet life in my eyes. Tasked with creating 20 abstract crouqui designs that show transition and story, I decided to share one of my favorite days on this trip which began with swimming and ended with hiking to the most incredible view.
