Aaliyah is from the 757, and is majoring in Nanomedicine.
My goal for this show is just to express my creativity and inspire others to do so as well. Feeding your creative nature is important.
My personal design style can be described as sexy, flowy, and oceanic. These are themes that are always present in my designs process if It doesn't make its way to the final design.
Inspired by steamboats and the ocean, I crafted this piece in the image of rough waves with distressing details to serve as a reminder of how reliable and strong steamboats were during the industrial revolution.
I wanted to continue with carrying historical elements into my designs by centering this design around coal mines. This sheer mesh and organza dress has a leather bra and is styled alongside a pair of black Tabi heels. Shimmery black glitters have been incorporated into the design within the mesh and organza to bring imagery of glistening diamonds hiding within the dark contrasting coals they were birthed from.
Also inspired by mines, this piece brings us back into the realm of denim. With deep denim colors and gold stitching and distressing details. To add more depth this piece details gold and brass detailing across the jeans and belting details across the back and front of the jacket accompanied with dirt distressing down the legs of the pants. Think California gold rush.
