The Belle Epoque, French for "Beautiful Era" was a period in European history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until World War 1. This era inspired my fashion collection.

In the early 20th Century Expressionism became the new avant-garde. The visual art style known as Art Nouveau characterized by its curvilinear forms became prominent and dominated designs throughout much of Europe. From 1880 to 1914, Art Nouveau was an international style for art, architecture and design where its popularity soared. It is characterized by highly stylized, flowing and curvilinear designs that often incorporate floral and other plant inspired motifs. Sunset colors such as yellow, orange, red and brownish red set the overall look for my collection
