PROUN - Advanced Fashion Collection

PROUN is the dynamic and the directional. It feeds from the movement of the graphic liberation from the formal and exhausted grid; it eludes the principles of customary dress. Its language moves between the structures and the variable, while revealing an inevitable alliance with the angular and the asymmetrical.

 

 

She is unique and the juxtaposition of classic and directional is expressed in her nonchalant way. She is in definite control; her mantra speaks of moving between the boundaries and bypassing the magnetism of formality.

After sketching over 200 designs for this mini collection, I have finally determined the final looks. Above are the 5 final designs and flats  that I have selected for my advanced fashion collection 'PROUN'. I plan to document the production process with detail. Images of the mood board and inspiration will be posted shortly, along with the profile of my 'ideal' muse who has motivated a great deal of this mini collection. 

NEXT STEP: Finalize models and take measurements, selection of final fabrics, sew tests, and draft patterns.
