My collection consisted of 13 looks that were inspired by my portfolio which juxtaposed the rise of denim in America and The Gold Rush with contemporary lines and modern fashion trends. My collection is a representation of the versatility of denim that began as a labor fabric and through American fashion trends became iconic to the rebellion.
After Graduation and spending the semester working on my portfolio "The Denim Rush" I found myself discovering more inspiration and continuing with my collection of work. My portfolio focused primarily on the rise of denim in America during the gold rush, and from there I found Cultural references, and social economic issues that have pushed me to create work for the modern rebel. I premiered my work at The Code Red Fashion Show and later made it into Rva Fashion Week.
After the good news I instantly knew that time management will be the key to a successful show and that I needed to make more pieces to add to my collection for diversity, and new inspiration. I also
decided to collaborate with another designer who shares the same passion, and ambition for fashion, Markie of PLV. Markie is veteran when it comes to Rva Fashion Week and while making some signature pieces to add to his collection. Markie and I plan to continue our collaboration into other endeavors.
What's Next? Haus of Klyde will begin working on a new collection premiering Fall Rva Fashion Week 2016..
