Shades of Blue

Shades of Blue is a resort collection including beachwear and swim items inspired by the beach and "adult arts and crafts," incorporating shibori (natural indigo dye technique) and crochet pieces. The collection is designed for a mix of men and women. Sustainability within my collection was important to me, therefore I am using natural fibers, recycled fabric, upcycled fabric, and natural indigo dye.
