Hello my fantastic, loyal readers! It brings me great pleasure to finally present to you and the world my Senior Collection. This collection means the world to me. It was inspired by many of the elements you would typically see at Paris Fashion Week. With rich colors, unusual textures and metallic brocades I felt this was a mature collection I could be proud of as I took responsibility for these garments. From start to finish, I have put my heart and soul into every piece. My junior year I had an assignment which was to create an entire line based on or inspired by my heritage. Being obsessed with the gorgeous French culture, I of course jumped on my French heritage. I designed a small line titled "Mon Petit Chou" which translates to "my little cabbage". The phrase is typically said to a lover or child. I chose that as the name because I was inspired by the romance and almost magic of Paris. Then we have the color. Enter oxblood. I honestly have no effing clue how many times I've said oxblood in the past year. Like oh hey oxblood chiffon, oxblood Lycra, oxblood velvet, oxblood leather, oxblood thread, oxblood MYblood from pin pricks, oxblood oxblood friggan oxblood. Yeah, that felt good. But for realz, the color came to me as I was sitting in Phili waiting for my flight back in August. I was reading Glamour with the GORGEOUS Victoria Beckham on the cover. They had a story about oxblood which was named color of the year. I immediately became infatuated with the color and the rest is pretty much history. Now I suppose I'll do what my fellow blogger and classmate, Anna (fangirlandfashion.blogspot.com love you girl 😘) did. For her collection, she put up separate posts for each garment. That way I'll have a beautiful garment description for each! Woooo! Well there you go folks, a small story on my collection. Wait until you hear the story behind my prom dress.. It's scholarship winning ;) (hahaha see what I did there? It's not award winning, it's scholarship winning) okay bye lovers!
Xx
