Senior Thesis Collection- Fuoco Nelle Vene
Senior Thesis is the culmination project given at the start of senior year. It's a 6-look collection designed, patterned and constructed by the student over a 3 quarter period. My senior thesis collection is titled Fuoco Nelle Vene (fire in the veins) in Italian. I was inspired by a magazine article that placed this label on the sexy, sophisticated and daring dress of high-fashion Italian women. I chose to look to viking and barbarian dress for direct design inspiration. I had the honor of being mentored by Stephen Burrows.
