Concept Statement:
Patriarchal views about how people- especially women- should dress in a workplace environment have created the idea that “professionalism” must look mundane and unimaginative. This collection counters these ideas by taking rigidly structured looks and tearing them apart, adding playful design twists, ruffles, and an abundance of color. I want to challenge our idea of what we consider to be “professional” dress and inspire everyone to bring out their inner child and have fun.
