Senior Collection Ambiguous Feeling

This senior collection was inspired by the simplicity and complexity of design. Textural and color elements were influenced by British photographer Tim Flach, best known for his abstract images of animals. The use of one fabric (silk crepe de chine), simple shapes and complex fabric manipulations allows viewers to see design in a new light.
