Approaching this collection of mine, I knew that I had wanted to delve into the artistic side of my mind that hasn’t been activated in a long time. I wanted to make my collection exist in this imaginative world and I had wanted to make it diverse. I feel I have the potential to be a versatile designer. Not a designer who can just make menswear, just make flowy dresses, or avant garde wearable art. I think I can do it all and wanted to push myself. I am extremely proud and impressed by myself for having pushed myself and prove that I can conceptually understand a diverse set of designs. This process has expanded my knowledge of fabrics, imagination, drawing, and especially everything technical that I had to do throughout this semester.
Since joining this degree back in 2014, I had come such a long way and will continue to make large strides. I was a different person before. I had thought I was not capable of designing, whether it be talent or opportunity, and was scared of figuring out how to make money while doing something I love. This curriculum has taught me to work very very hard for what I want, learn when to let go, learn how to listen, not only to others, but myself, critically think, be more compassionate unconditionally, articulate, and appreciate beauty in the world much more than I already had. All of my experiences here have caused me to evolve for the better and I am very grateful for it. Life is journey of constant learning and growing and I will continue to go in that direction. Thank you for everything Stacy!
