Perception
Amelia Thomas’ luxury evening wear collection, “Perception”, examines the relationship of perfectionism within fashion; taking inspiration from dance movement. A dichotomy of chaos and control is expressed within the materials. Amelia utilizes a sustainable, non-toxic thermoplastic. She hand molded and painted a thermoplastic corset bodice. This juxtaposition is also expressed through pleats, seamlines, and movement of fabrics. Enjoy.

Double Conscious
Double Conscious is a fashion collection that explores the concept of dual identity in Black Americans through an Afro-surrealist lens. The term Double consciousness was coined by W.E.B DuBios to describe the “peculiar sensation” Black Americans endure within a eurocentric society. This collection articulates these ideas through use of color, contrasting textures, and Afro-surrealist inspired motifs.

Reverence
Reverence is a sartorial study on the experience of growing up as a minority. As a Korean-American, highlighting all aspects of my reality is important– racism, microaggressions, fetishization, etc. I created a juxtaposition through silhouettes between my personal style within my home country (U.S.) and traditional aspects from my Korean culture.
