No Space to Breathe

My collection "No Space to Breathe" delves into the oppressive weight of societal pressures through the symbolism of the corset, evoking feelings of constraint and suffocation. By exploring these themes, my thesis collection seeks to raise awareness about the challenges individuals face and stimulate discussions on coping strategies and resilience-building techniques.

Lizzy Truitt

The Art of Making Do

“The Art of Making Do explores the history and beauty of fashion & craftsmanship within the south and the dichotomy between the relationship of the two. The collection through craftsmanship, silhouette, and fabric shows the beauty, creativity, and history while challenging the presumption of lack of luxury within the rural south.”
