Royality

One-of-a-kind two-piece ensemble combining Japanese sashiko print, Scottish tartan plaid, and classic pinstripe suiting. Cropped tunic features asymmetric paneling with military gold button closure. Matching skirt with grommet waistband and drawstring tie.

Reverse Psychology

When one print isn't enough, wear both sides. This jacket / pants pair combines two radically different fabrics into one. The reversible wide-leg pants feature geometric patchwork corduroy on one side—flip them inside-out for bold zebra print. We added an exuberant amount of functional welt pockets featured on the pant legs, jacket sleeve, back logo patch, and hood.

The Transition Bridge

This creation is a statement, experiment, and investigation into how plastic and fabrics can and are used together within the fashion industry. Unfortunately, it’s often the case that the clothes you’re wearing include plastic - not only in the actual fabric, but also in the shipping, delivery, and packaging of the product. With one side of the garment made from found plastic trash and the other made from patchwork fabric with holes to expose the under layered plastic, I aimed to raise awareness on how much plastic goes into the clothes that we wear today. Furthermore, by utilizing “trash” in this sustainable way, it provokes the question of what a garment can be made out of, and hopefully inspires you to view and experiment with the power of second-hand materials.

Grandma's Kitchen

A full 2 part piece hand made from a beautifully textured velvet fabric found at the thrift store. The top features a wide version of a turtleneck collar lined with another found fabric that smells like sweet spices and herbs you would find at your grandmas house. The bottom features a bootcut fit and a adjustable waistband that allows the wearer to tie and adjust the waist to fit.

Tbag

During my time going to massbay I took the train to and From school, accumulating lots of train tickets. I saved these mbta train tickets up and eventually used them for this project! Beautiful what you can recycle with everyday objects .I lined the bag with canvas, and glued the tickets down before adding a plastic vinyl layer over the top. I included a inside pocket for easy access to everyday items (keys, love, patience, etc.)

Sashiko Sensation

This piece started with vibrant purple canvas and spiraled into controlled chaos. Layer after layer of hand-pulled screen prints—overlapping, bleeding together, building texture until the fabric told its own story. Salvaged denim brought structure. Traditional sashiko stitching covers the sleeves and pockets in meditative, repetitive rows. The lining? Recycled blankets and fabric from an old robe—warmth with history. Every element sourced, scavenged, or repurposed.

Using What You Got

In many industries, especially fashion, we throw away stupendous amounts of materials, mainly for efficiency and convenience. However, there is a rewarding beauty that comes from ‘using what you got’ and upcycling old, dead, materials into something alive and creative. In this jacket and pants piece, I collected trash, scrubbed the dirt and grease off it and sewed it into pattern pieces I had previously cut from a bedsheet. The process was painstaking and delicate. My hope is this inspires others to create sustainably.

Mobile Mind

This garment is dedicated to the time, energy, and life that we can easily lose through our devices. As our attention span diminishes with short term entertainment, I encourage you to find an activity equally as satisfying (reading, meditation, cooking, stretching) and implement it into your routine.

Leaf Legs

An impressively colorful layer of red, yellow, and brown leaves across my lawn. I layered leaves between a woven fabric and plastic vinyl, creating a protective barrier that would allow the leaves to be seen but also contained within the garment. I finished off the piece with some funky-shaped pockets and an adjustable waistband.

XL

My original plan was to create a jumpsuit that looked like one pair of huge pants, but it soon evolved into this overally style contraption. I pieces together a separating zipper using super glue and some bits and bobs which allows the top to separate from the bottom, therefore you can wear the whole fit together or the pants by themselves, depending on how you’re feeling .

The Last Present

This garment started on Christmas morning when I noticed how much wrapping paper we discarded. Instead of letting it become waste, I shredded it to insulate a puffer jacket—something I'd always wanted to make. I added fur detailing and matching pants to push the concept further. Construction was chaotic: quilting segments, filling them with shredded paper, dealing with clogged vacuums and broken mannequins. After weeks of trial and error, I finally completed the piece. The project reinforced a simple truth: discarded materials can always become something valuable if you're willing to reimagine their potential.
