A Night Remembered

2017

These pieces are designed and created with a blending of two places in existence.  This collection was inspired by the fashion and architectural motifs found in the Edwardian Era.  In 1912 the Titanic set sail to America bringing people of high class down to people who wanted to create a new life. The Titanic found its tragic end on April 14/15th, 1912 after striking an iceberg.  This collection pays tribute to the people and the time of style and innovation.
