Created during my senior year at SCAD (Fashion Design BFA, 2020), this collection focuses on sustainability and silhouette play under my brand, Ninesixteen. Every look started with a thrifted black trench coat that I reworked into a dress through draping, reconstruction, and small unexpected details. Bungee cords, twists, and new cuts helped reshape the original coat into something completely different, reflecting my interest in reimagining existing garments into modern, expressive silhouettes.
