BLOOM
"Bloom" is a visual poem dedicated to growth: gentle, powerful, and undeniably feminine. Rooted in the language of flowers and the quiet strength of nature, the collection celebrates soft silhouettes, delicate detailing, and natural textiles. With every petal-like ruffle and sun-washed tone, "Bloom" honors the journey of womanhood and self-discovery, blossoming into full expression.
Designing Bloom was a deeply personal process. I wanted each piece to feel soft, expressive, and full of movement. I incorporated delicate techniques like godets, hand-crafted fabric flowers, and large ruffles to create texture and dimension, evoking the feeling of a garden in full bloom. Every detail was intentional, from the flowing silhouettes to the all pink toned color palette, capturing a sense of growth, femininity, and quiet strength. This collection reflects not just a design concept, but a season of transformation in my own life.
SALOME
Crafted with a base of lightweight satin (97% polyester, 3% spandex), Salome is a fluid, feminine silhouette featuring 16 strategically placed godet inserts in a sheer chiffon floral print (100% polyester). Each godet is accented at the top with hand-sewn, soft-structured fabric flowers, cut and gathered from matching chiffon for tonal harmony. Three handmade flowers also embellish the bust point, accentuating the V neckline. The bodice is supported with hand-ruffled straps made from the same fabric, and the backless design is secured with a hidden invisible zipper. The mix of satin stretch and lightweight chiffon creates a high contrast between body and movement, enhancing the dynamic flow of the skirt while maintaining a stable, tailored fit at the bodice.
Sinnis
Sinnis is a two-piece coordinated look that combines structure and softness. The high-neck cropped tank and wide-leg palazzo pants are cut from a matte, medium-weight cotton/polyester blend (65% cotton, 35% polyester) in a rich rose tone that offers both breathability and body. Each pant leg features a sheer chiffon godet insert in the front and back (100% polyester) in a nearly identical rose tone, creating fluidity without visual interruption. At the back of the top, a stretch mesh godet panel (poly/spandex blend, approx. 92% polyester, 8% spandex) introduces comfort and flexibility, allowing the top to mold naturally to the wearer’s shape. The pants close with a micro invisible zipper set into a clean-finished waistband. This ensemble is engineered for balance, tailored but unrestricted, polished but romantic.
Rosado
A statement of vibrant femininity, Rosado is constructed from a bright pink duchesse satin (98% polyester, 2% spandex) with a subtle sheen and structure that allows for sculpted pleating. Hand-gathered pleats flow down from the bust, opening into a full skirt designed to move effortlessly with the wearer. At the neckline, a cluster of handcrafted satin flowers in a contrasting blush tone (100% polyester) add soft volume and visual delicacy. The halter straps are made from a plush velvet (90% polyester, 10% spandex) dyed to match the base satin exactly, tied at the back of the neck for adjustability. The skirt portion is secured with an invisible zipper at the back waist. Designed to embody confidence and motion, Rosado celebrates both color and craftsmanship in every detail.
Elurra
A study in sheen and contrast, Elurra features a glossy stretch satin (97% polyester, 3% spandex) body in blush pink, elevated by eight flowing godet panels made from a semi-sheer light pink chiffon (100% polyester). The strapless neckline is uniquely engineered with a fold-over detail, revealing the satin’s reverse side—a softer, matte pink finish—to create tonal dimension. Six handmade satin flowers, crafted from the same fabric, are placed above alternating godets for symmetrical decoration and subtle three-dimensionality. The back is tied for adjustability and closed with an invisible zipper for a smooth, professional finish. Elurra merges softness and shine with couture-like detailing, making it a standout conclusion to the Bloom collection.
Bloom is more than a collection—it’s a reflection of who I’ve become during my time at Auburn University. Every stitch, flower, and fold is rooted in the lessons, growth, and transformation I’ve experienced over the past four years. As I prepare to step into the next chapter and leave behind the people and places that shaped me, this collection serves as a final thank you. To my professors, who challenged me and helped refine my vision; to my cohort, whose support and creativity made the long nights feel lighter; and to my family and friends who stood by me through every step—thank you. Bloom is the product of countless hands, hearts, and hours, and I’m endlessly proud to share it with you.
