When choosing the mural as inspiration for this lookbook, I was immediately drawn to everything ocean-related, as I’ve always been in awe of the beauty the ocean contains. There were many murals that I went to look at that befitted this theme, and it was interesting to see that each of them were created by the same artist: Joe Pagac. This mural specifically contained a multitude of gorgeous colors, and many things that I find beautiful, from the clouds, the sky, the whales, the mountains. Everything about this mural is truly incredible, and I’m grateful to have chosen it.

Trend pages & Report

Looking at the recent runways, we can see a large number of beautiful looks, whether they’re new, or the specific trends have been around for centuries, we can gather inspiration from each look. When searching for ideas for this lookbook, while also gathering inspiration from my own designs and creations that I wanted to feature, I knew I ultimately wanted to do patchwork, especially as it has plenty of relevance in sustainability. Now Grandma’s patches are on the high-fashion runway, and the creativity one can create using these recycled fabrics is truly incredible. In many recent runways, I saw a lot of lace and sheer fabrics. One of my favorite runways that featured plenty of this was Mugler S/S 24, which featured gorgeous looks that look as if they’re underwater. The way that sheer and lace fabrics can be gorgeously manipulated, embroidered and even accessorized is beautiful, and I love the way that it can enhance one’s features and truly allow their figures to shine.
