Inspiration and Beauty In Our Community:

Our diverse cultural backgrounds and our beautiful global ancestral roots were my inspiration in the creation of these dresses.

From the more opulent fabrics and finishes suggesting African, Asian... ancestral wealth to the very simple and modest attire reminiscent of the early Shaker community (which I confess guilt for having adorned it with beads and a sash), I worked with my 18" model (below) to complete this ‘past and present’ collection.
