Sweating Superheros

FEATURED IN THE HOKIN HONORS 2022

​

This activewear collection pays homage to the 80s & 90s throwback VHS videos I watched in my childhood. I was inspired by the likes of "Dance Workout With Barbie", "The Power Puff Girls", "Jem and the Holograms", as well as newer, more body-inclusive animated series like "Steven Universe", "Star vs. The Forces of Evil" and "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power".

I incorporated a multitude of textiles techniques- including creating appliques, dying my fabric, and developing my first ever surface pattern design. This resulted in an activewear collection for femmes in  a multitude of shades and sizes that inspired feelings of strength and magic like those seen on animated heroines from their favorite TV shows.
