AMBROSE
Inspired by a trip to the Ambrose lightship which guided many immigrants into New York, I designed a deconstructed look featuring elements of the ship. Through an exploration of laser-cutting wood, macrame rope, and cardboard as a structual element, the look is a blend of different mediums representing the ship and its enviorment. The dress is constructed with a silk satin with heavyweight muslin backpanels as the sails of a ship.
