This collection helped me understand that my identity as a designer is strongly rooted in working with thicker fabrics and constructing garments through complex paneling and curved forms, which has naturally become a signature of my style. I realized that I am drawn to designs that are not only visually striking but also narrative-driven, allowing my work to tell a story and create emotional connections with people. Throughout the process, I found myself refining my paneling skills the most, especially in experimenting with different panel shapes, sizes, and curve angles to achieve the intended silhouette. I had to continuously adjust and practice techniques to ensure that the structure and form were not compromised, particularly when working with heavier materials like leather. This collection also taught me various methods of joining leather panels through different stitching techniques and preparation processes. Overall, the repetition and problem-solving involved deepened my appreciation for garment structure and strengthened my understanding of how to control silhouette and form when designing with thick, structured fabrics.
