‘REVIVING CRAFT’
Senior Thesis Collection:
This collection, rooted in embracing vintage textiles and upcycled materials, aims to empower individuality, self-expression, and ethical fashion. Inspired by the history of the Arts and Crafts movement, it parallels the present day's need for authenticity and craftsmanship in an industry struggling with trend cycles and overproduction. Through this blend of past and present, I am advocating for a conscious shift towards a more sustainable and authentic fashion future.
