April 2022 I submitted a 7 piece collection to the DHM Oklahoma State Euphoria Fashion show. The collection senior collection is called “Ascendancy” and was originally inspired by famous queens throughout history who made a name for themselves as more than just "someone's wife." As women, we are often told to shrink and conform our personalities to fit someone else's view of us. This collection is about being bold and resilient, strong and powerful, and still feeling glamorous. I was drawn toward a deeper and more rich color pallet to bind traditionally masculine traits to an overall feminine collection.
