BA (Hons) Fashion Design and Development
"When I Look Into The Sky" is the Spring/Summer 2014 Collection for the heritage brand, Marie Paplauskas. The collection is an external expression of an internal emotion of being overwhelmed by something greater than you. To be blown Away. A collection that began with one of my greatest inspirations and wonders, the sky. _I am an American fashion designer currently based in London with a focus in woman's occasion wear including cocktail, evening and bridal. [Design Aesthetic] I believe that designing clothing for the modern woman is a collision of learning from past; classic silhouettes with atelier techniques, and moving forward with contemporary approaches to textiles and design; all aimed at flattering the natural curves of the female figure and ultimately making a woman feel her most beautiful.
