Celadon

Collection Statement

This collection was inspired, among other things, by the natural surroundings and the way the life-death cycle begins in nature, specifically flora. Spring is bountiful when it's in full bloom. Bright at first, but as the seasons progress, it gets lusher and browner, then decays. Remnants of what was there initially still exist but aren't as prominent. It may be hard for the designer to explain their thought process in words, but they hope you can see it through their designs. Flowy shapes, floral themes, and visible environmental hues allow you to practically witness the cycle of “bloom” in its stages as you move from left to right. Some other little things such as the green color of a praying mantis (that the designer once had as a pet), as well as clothing of different cultures have helped the creative process. Just looking at things that surround you with a curious eye. Listening to music genres such as jungle, drum and bass, and ambient has definitely helped the designer's creative process too.
