The Clarke Dress
My FIT AAS capstone project was inspired by the maximalist and contradicting photography of Henry Clarke. Pulling from the principles he presented, I designed my own print, seen on the body of the dress, and hand stamped stripes onto the ruffled organza. This dress is loud and was a labor of love that exemplifies my highest craftsmanship.
The organza ruffles give the dress the perfect silhouette.
