This Spring Collection was about finding my identity as a young adult woman. As a child I was a tomboy so there was a big hatred towards the color pink. This collection is me growing up as a woman navigating what that means to me and finding myself as an Asian American Plus-size woman. Due to this, there is a lot of usage of many shades of pink as an homage to my past and how far I’ve come.

The big wrap coat was meant for anyone to be able to wear and feel as if it was a big warm hug from someone comforting. With removal snaps for the hood and the sides, the coat lays fully flat and can be used as a pillow and blanket respectively. As for material usage, there is a heavy presence of quilting/ patchworking and hand sewing due to a familial feeling. But further due to my interests in sustainability. Because of this, all patches on the coat were old second-hand recycled materials that were donated by family and friends.
