Reality, body, inspiration, authenticity, happenstance: Terms that are intertwined, in motion, and in dialogue with one another to determine the understanding of each other. The most vital element melded into this coexistence however, is the manner of the individual rapprochement with said terms. Franziska Bahring sums it up best as, 'Not reflection on the observation and evaluation of others, but instead personal sensation and enjoyment, and fashion as a medium to achieve this.'
As an artist, individuality is a concept near and dear to my being. Prior to the two years spent at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), the ability to harness my individuality and present it in a methodical approach was only truly present in one medium: Ballet. …show more content…

The freedom of finding inspiration in anything in the world around me allows a creation of individuality which as I mentioned earlier, I find to be the most important concept of design. Artists like Viktor and Rolf, Iris van Herpen, and Rune Guneriussen are whom I admire and respect as they create sometimes playful, always elegant, and without fail avant-garde, distinct works of art.
My future, as I have envisioned it, is comprised of a degree hard earned from CSM, a design career in the industry under a brand with the same vision and passion for the combination of haute couture and conceptual art, and eventually my own brand in which I will design under the ultimate feeling of creative freedom. The first key step in my future, as you've probably deciphered, is to have the pleasure of calling CSM my home for the coming three years of my
