"Whether it be a tree in an open field, the color of one's childhood bedroom, the streets of New York City, a woman's physique, costumes of the theater, or an intriguing conversation- being present is imperative to not overlook the opportunities that lie in front of you and the inspiration that could potentially be the catalyst of a new adventure."

reflection of // october

what i'm currently working on // fashion styling

"She wants to break free from tradition. A woman who has been constrained by her cultural foundation but craves self- expression and freedom. Striving for self-identity, she emerges her mind to release into her own reverie."

for fashion styling, i'm in a group of three, so Amber, Emily, and I are working on a photo shoot from concept to creation.

 everything from professional hair + mua, photographer, location, etc. to start building the concept, we created a moodboard that shows our inspiration and a concept statement.

The concept that is envisioned is a woman from the middle east that has roots in her culture, but trying to embody the American culture as well. Current designers are getting their fabrics, patterns, designs and inspiration from these cultures. The intricate details,  bright-saturated colors, and embellishments are not only seen in the streets of Turkey or in the marketplace of Morocco, but in high fashion runways. We are inspired by modern feminism that takes place in Middle Eastern countries. Some women are restricted in their freedom, however there are some that are going against the norm and finding their places as women within their own society.  Today, women have more free reign on their overall appearance, especially in America. We want to show the contrast of the cultures and the women.

style behind the muse | wanderlust

everyone is lusting over the sweet combo of 

stripes and patterns.

 the mix of structure and chaos, but a perfect blend. 

in styling today, stripes act as a neutral. so it gives it the flexibility to be paired with bold prints and patterns and the perfect neutral bag!

given that the inspiration lies behind architectural places

 and buildings that are overseas and have existed 

for long years, and is seen even in home decór.
