Collection: Truth and Perception

          For this collection, I explored the contrast between the pure truth and how we, as flawed beings, perceive truth. My textile print represents distorted truth through an image of the sky reflected upon itself until it is almost unrecognizable. For the final designs, I wanted to contrast flowing, ambiguous lines with hard lines and structured pieces.

 

          Flowing pants, sheer illusion sleeves, and a sheer chiffon overdress represent perception clouding the truth. A blocky, square dress and a structured top represent the pure truth. Materials for the designs include black silk for the pants, sheer synthetic fabric for the illusion sleeves and cotton for the structured portion of the shirt and the square dress. For the shoes, faux leather  is used for the boots and heels and cotton fabric and  faux leather is used for the heels with straps.
