This Fall/Winter 2016 Mini Collection was created during my time abroad in Rome, Italy. I was inspired by the moto-inspired street style of the Italian women I encountered day to day. The textiles were sourced in Florence Italy and include a vintage italian wool and mohair. The look I constructed consists of a mock neck swing dress with a keyhole and a winter coat with a convertible collar option.
