Over the last five months, Jess Ding and I designed and created a collection of five outfits that we and three others modeled at a fashion show. It was tedious, but also something I had never tried before. I’ve always been interested in design and exploring different ways to apply my creative nature, and this was the perfect setting. Even though I was a complete beginner, I jumped straight into wrap tops, zipper installments, and color variations. Many pin stabs, fabric runs, and way-too-tight try-on sessions later, it all came together. I barely remember the crowd as I walked down the runway -- I was so focused on our group, posing, and still in shock at how wonderfully our vision that become reality. March 31, 2020 a vision come alive.
