Hello! and welcome to my Zenith page!
The Zenith project is the last big project I did in my two years at Freestyle Academy of Communication Arts and Technology. For this project, I was given 10 weeks to essentially design my own project and explore whatever I am interested in. I chose to create a fashion brand by designing my own original clothing and constructing them.
Inspired by the way fashion is able to ignite important political discussions, I created New Dust. The name New Dust represents the way that these “new” problems we are facing today actually stem from deep rooted, older problems, and people associate “dust” with old things. Additionally, dust is constantly covering items if they are left alone, much like how our social and political problems will continue if we continue to turn a blind eye to them.
With this brand idea in mind, I created three pieces with hope that they would be cohesive, fashion forward, and bring awareness to a social cause that is currently affecting our society.
I hope you enjoy viewing my project as much as I enjoyed creating it 🙂
