Essence of Desert
Created as part of the Level 2 collaborative collection 'Essence of Desert' for the Cornell Fashion Collective's 34th Annual Fashion Show.
I took inspiration from the colors of the textures of the plant life and the desert biome.
The top was created using polyester taffeta that I hand-smocked into lotus flowers.
The skirt was created from four layers of polyester chiffon.
The bloomers were created from polyester taffeta.
Fabric manipulations featured across the pieces
The top was created with hand-smocked and waved pin-tucked double faced polyester taffeta, as well as two layers of polyester chiffon.
The pants were made with the waved pintucks as the waistband and cuffs, as well as 2 layers of polyester chiffon for the main body.
