Favorite candy:
Anything with chocolate and peanut butter will make my day.

What I learned from this unique collaboration:
From this project I have learned that you have to fully understand the properties of the materials you are working with in order to run into as few difficulties as possible when constructing your garments. This is especially true when working with candy, as these may break, tear or morph unexpectedly. I have also learned that as a designer one must take risky decisions sometimes (such as deciding to start all over in such a time constraint, in my case) if your gut tells you too.

Fashion Fringe
Garment description & inspiration: Fashion Fringe is inspired by the futuristic silhouettes introduced by Cardin and Courrèges in the 1960s. Recalling the youth and energy of that dynamic decade, the design’s circular shape is layered with thousands of fringed sour belts. From a distance, vertical line work ornaments the dress but up close the careful observer is able to appreciate the intricacy of detail in the fringe. Fashion Fringe’s multi-hued palette complements its simple yet dramatic shape
