donations from this event will be given to the fort wayne museum of arts education department which serves upward of over 40000 kids every year


this collection began with the exploration of color or there lack of. from there came the black and white which punctuates most of the collection leaving room for very little color


because the color pallete is so constricted the collection immediately developed into one with an importance of texture in the form of laces, furs, plastics, organdys, chiffons, twills, and tulles


the silhouette soon developed into a kind of 1950's era modernist with explosions of fabric at the waist and a tight fitted bodice
