On March 3, 2013 I had the incredible opportunity to be presented as New Orleans Fashion Week's very first "Emerging Designer". I presented a 14 look collection, all handmade in my home studio in Baton Rouge, LA. The collection was inspired by young love stories, 60s music, and bright poppy colors. Each of the prints seen in the collection started out as an original painting I created over the summer, and was then digitally edited and printed onto 3 different types of fabric. Other pieces included prints I created that were hand painted and screen printed onto the pieces.
