Harbor Reflections was inspired by a photograph that my Dad took of an early morning down by the docks at Rowes Wharf in Boston, MA. The garments in my collection capture the free-flowing and graceful elements of water with the use of draping, rouching, and pleating on fine fabrics. The photograph also influenced my color palette and prints.
