"Growing Pains" is a collection exploring the complex relationship between girls and women, and the emotional tension in between. It reflects the mutual admiration between mothers and daughters—young girls raiding mom’s closet, mothers mirroring their daughters’ style. This closeness entangles, becoming clumsy and messy, as the desire to reflect one another blurs their differences. Oversized silhouettes express the awkwardness of growth, while playful beads, buttons, and bright colors highlight the collision of youth and age.
