I almost used broken shards of glass as one of the main
elements. It was a time in my life where I didn’t feel entirely whole. But
after advice from my mentor and praying and searching, I decided on something so
much better.
What I really hope is that the materials, together, will
interact with the true elements of this design: the wind and the light and the
unexplainable aura that resonates from them. If I can do this, I can echo to
others the absolute greatest feeling I’ve ever experienced—the feeling of
staring up at the night sky, watching the stars reflect their light, feeling
the wind against my skin, and suddenly realizing how amazingly small we are.
Your samples are breath-taking! And a beautiful premise for a collection. I know it's hard work, but I hope you are enjoying it. Ten years ago, I was also working on my senior collection, and I didn't fully realize then how special it was to be working on something so wholly and completely my own. Best of luck to you in the coming weeks.
