Satin A-line gown with a V-neckline, floral appliqué, beaded plastic details, and a side tulle overskirt.
Colors have an enormous impact on our emotions, their immense range can create strong and diverse stages of happiness and sadness within us. My journey from recovering from Covid-19 has inspired me to evaluate and embrace my collection, “Intricate Emotions” by using the personal color palette I have chosen.
One main material of my garment is plastic bottles. Most of the time people see plastic bottles as waste. Yet, what if I can appreciate its preciousness?
Gown embellishments are made from bottles collected from the recycling bin. Cutting the bottles into ideal shapes and heating ends with a candle created a curl. Crystals and beads were applied to shapes.
Deep V-neck gown embellished with clear flowers and crystals. Flowers were made from recycled plastic bottles from the community bin.
I hope my design can remind people how many bottles will, unfortunately, end up in landfills rather than recycling facilities. We should take responsibility before using or disposing of it.
