Avec Une Rose - Avec Une Rose, French for "with a rose", is a collection of cocktail dresses inspired by the intricate and classic beauty of a rose. Each gown releases a different aspect of the flower's effortless elegance and is accompanied with accessories such as veils, gloves and coin purses to give a slightly 50's glamour flair.

Lasting Impressions - Lasting Impressions is a collection of elaborate evening gowns inspired by Claude Monet's painting "Venice Twilight." The combination of soft brush stokes and the striking colors is incorporated into each dress as I carefully blended various oranges, reds, and pinks to mirror the impressionist painting. Primary fabrics used are chiffons, silk, and charmeuse.

Paint the Tropics - Paint the Tropics is a resort wear collection inspired by exotic scenery of tropical settings, from the angles of a palm tree leaf to the soft waves of the ocean. The target market in mind when I created these pieces was a stylish woman from late 30s to early 40s with the means to vacation and purchase high end clothing for such occasions. Thus, I created a more conservative collection with floor length skirts, pants, and high waist lines.

The Architect - My collection "The Architect" was designed based off of the structures seen in modern architecture. The sleek buildings and their bold construction are seen in each gown as they elude an effortless simplicity in their foundation with a complex, and daring exterior. Primarily, these gowns would be worn to a formal event by a woman in her late twenties to early 30s who is not afraid of being fashion forward.
