Inspiration

The inspiration for this collection came from a Tania Ling painting. The background of the painting resembles an ocean of sand, her brush stroke varies from light to heavy forming texture and color watering drops marks.

Construction 

The collection uses a mix of fabrics:  petroleum crepe satin, Navy silk satin, stretchy polyester twill fabric wax coated, nude hemp linen, multi-color tulle, petroleum sequined  mousseline, dark nude jersey, light weight multicolored wrinkled woven fabric and a spaced woven synthetic fabric.

The garments format varies depending on the volume, there is a movement when it is tight on the upper body, there is a volume in the lower body, also true otherwise when there is a volume at the collar, it is tight at the legs. The lines are forming cowls, darts forming shapes and flares creating details. The collection follows the movement of Tania Ling art.
