This collection captures the emotional journey of working through a big creative project—the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Each look represents a distinct stage in the process, embodying a specific mood or feeling experienced by artists as they bring their vision to life. This show is a visual and emotional diary of the creative process. The stages are Realization, Pressure, Doubt, Stagnant, Chaos, Momentum, and Soaring. 

When you first think of a project, you’re fueled with fire and excitement to start. Ideas are flooding your head and you are eager to create. This stage will bring out looks of confidence and show the audience what Tailored Noise is about. I plan to show looks that are very technically clean and have a strong sense of my style. Quality suiting is a huge staple of my style and it’s truly something I love to create.

The fire is still burning hot, maybe a little too hot? It's starting… you’re starting to feel the pressure building up as you recognize what needs to be done and, that projects are a lot, both mentally and physically. These looks will be sharp and on point. However, that little voice in your head is starting to take over and show up in your work. These looks are “sharp” and start to bring some edge out.

With a lot going on in your head, it's starting to get a little overwhelming. Before you were flowing and burning, but now… now you’re just overthinking. You're not trusting yourself anymore and you start to doubt your own ideas. The ideas that got you here in the first place… You’re going to start to understand where this noise is coming from. I love to combined different textures and textiles in my work. I feel like this gives your eyes something to really think about.

It happened, you burnt out. The fire was too hot and the noise was too loud. Suddenly it's completely silent in your head. Where once was a mountain of ideas is now nothing. This stage is very important to me as I feel everyone has experienced the agonizing pain of being burnt out. However, this is also the stage where it all starts…

RAGEEEEEEEEE, you’re sick of feeling like this. Strong emotions of frustration, anger, fear, and confusion are brought to life. Although these strong emotions may sound and feel “negative”, they also are what re-lights fires… I'd say you need them. I want to show the boundaries that I want to push. You have been seeing Tailored, but now its time for that NOISE.

YOU ARE ON FIREEEEEEE, that fire is burning you alive but its sooooooo good. You have grown a new love for your craft and that noise that you once thought was too loud, is actually the perfect volume right now… You have felt what silence feels like and you never want to feel that again. Chaotically beautiful and breathtaking is what I’m going for. Ideas are everywhere and the only thing on your mind is CREATE.

You’re in love; you’re in love with your craft and it's never been stronger. You have balanced all the emotions you are going through and are in full control of how to show them in your craft. You’ve grown as an artist throughout the journey and you realize you needed to experience that to be at your best. This last look is Tailored Noise.
