Stained Glass Lily

Designed for the Apparel and Textile Design Pop-Up Fashion Show, this garment was inspired by the water lily and Westminster Abbey. Allison was inspired by the stained glass windows of Westminster Abbey and how they gave the building transparency and color. A water lily parallels Westminster Abbey by being the pop of color floating on transparent water. Her design includes vinyl to mimic these transparent qualities. In addition, Allison's design transforms from a short skirt to a long gown to embody the blooming of the flower.
