Body & Psyche
Senior Collection, 2022
My Senior thesis, titled Body and Psyche, is a genderless collection focusing on the complexity of the human body and psyche, with the goal to address the human connection between the brain and body and how it directly relates to our emotions, environment, and connections with others around us. A great amount of my inspiration was drawn from imagery that displays human anatomy, depictions of the human connection, and scientific writings/articles.

The jacket is soft on the inside and outside, intended to evoke a sense of comfort that we can find within one another. Waxed cotton poplin skirt that opens in the front, with side pockets, layered over brushed cotton pants with a zipper fly. Both the skirt and pants are one piece connected at the waistband.
