My graduate collection for my MS in fashion featured steampunk culture and was inspired by the music of Franco-African neo-soul duo Les Nubians.

Known for its late-Victorian references and focus on industrial revolution era technology, Steampunk is a retro-futuristic sci-fi genre that served as a launching point for creating this collection that featured laser-cut leather dresses, tailored coats and lace corsets.

This collection won Most Creative Graduate Collection
