Deconstruction is defined as "breaking down or analyzing something to discover its true significance" (Merriam-Webster).
This collection incorporates dystopia/futuristic elements, drawing inspiration from the time period 1940-1949. During this era, there was a significant emphasis on simple, stylish garments, with good proportion and line; utility clothing, uniforms, padded shoulders, nipped-in waists, boxy suits, square shoulders, narrow hips, wide legged pants, and knee-length skirts were design elements primarily utilized. Additionally, materials including denim, cotton, velvet, and wool were popularly constructed in garments.
This collection explores the word "Deconstruction" within the designs, blending Dystopia/Futuristic/Post-Apocalyptic with the 1940-1949 era as one.
