Hiraeth

Three of our looks have been officially submitted for Capstone this past week. It's gratifying to see it all finally coming together; making it worth each late night and early morning. This process has been a very emotional and introspective one for myself, I have translated these emotions into colors, weights, shapes and patterns. My collection finally has a formal title, Hiraeth, a Welsh word that refers to a nostalgic feeling that likens itself to homesickness, or a place in which you cannot return that is in the past; which for me is my childhood. I feel as though it is important for my audience to see my whole process, from the preliminary sketches to my final garments walking down the runway at our Capstone show. I am incredibly proud of myself and am in awe that I have officially decided to have six looks to walk down the runway instead of my original three. Stay tuned for more! :)
