As a designer, I am inspired by the smaller things in life. For this collection I derived inspiration from a painting titled, "To Good Wine and Good Friends" by Wayne McKenzie. To thematically match this painting, I chose to create two wine colored party dresses, as one felt too exclusive. My collection depicts the simple moments I cherish of spending great time, enjoying good wine, with some of the closest friends of mine.
