"“DALAGITA ” is inspired by the designer’s personal journey through puberty, reflecting the emotional and transformative experiences of a young girl. Her grandmother, a significant influence, taught her sewing, cross-stitching, and diamond painting. The
grandmother’s collection of vintage cups and plates, locked in cabinets, symbolized the designer’s feelings of restriction and being sheltered during her puberty. The designs in this collection narrate this emotional journey through feminine silhouettes, ruffles, pleats, cross-stitch details, beadings, and delicate draping, capturing the transition of adolescence. As the collection progresses, the pieces become more structured and ornate, symbolizing the gradual transformation into a graceful young lady."
