Paradoxical Nostalgia

My Studio 1 collection took place during January-March of 2024. This collection is a culmination of my experiences and how they relate to streetwear culture. At first, I found strong paradoxical qualities between growing up as a young girl in suburbia to the origins of hip hop’s impact on streetwear. As I continued to research and develop this collection, I found passion, bright and fun colors, inspirational stories, and culturally contrasting colors. Progressing through my life as a creative, I find importance is history and understanding. This collection - Paradoxical Nostalgia - serves as the obvious (and slightly comical) paradoxical relationship of how I've grown up and where I want to go.
