- Summary
- Photoshoot Images of the Collection that was released on November 1, 2024 during Gallery Presentation. Garment names are: Glory; Daffodil; Calla; The Sisters; Dahlia; Orchid; Expanse; Iris; Lily; and Kallos.
- On November 1st, 2024, from 7-9 pm, she released a couture capsule collection, displayed in a gallery presentation style in the Garment District. She showed 10 pieces on a group of inclusively sized models.
- At the start of the exhibit, beside an artists statement, was a true to scale life size silhouette of the average size US consumer - a woman standing 5’4 inches tall with a 38.9 inch waistline. While being the average, and the majority of consumers being plus size, they are left out of the majority of fashion - specifically high end designer pieces.
- The 10 couture designs all took inspiration from flowers, with additional social messaging touching on power, confidence, defiance, character strength, and familial bonds. The collection can be viewed and pre ordered at SmartGlamour.com.
- Garments design and constructed, photographs taken, gallery curated by Professor Mallorie Dunn.
- Assisted by fashion design students: Mia Jackson, Nicola Caravaggio, Alexa Yam, and Summer Kubota.
