In hindsight, this project is a clear manifestation of two parts of myself in conflict. A newfound world of visibility and responsibility creates tension with my instinct to simply create. The limited production of Baguette Bag was intended to meet the vicious demand of what was expected of a budding designer. The patchwork dress, hand-cut from sweaters sourced from The Salvation Army, satisfied a deeper desire. Gracefully captured by Lauren’s distinctive eye of intimacy, I unknowingly displayed my vulnerability to the world.
