ADORNEZZA

Adornezza’s goal is to focus on hyperfeminine style, romantic silhouettes, and our innermost Victorian fantasies. Hyper femininity focuses on romantic relationships and a women’s femininity in a sea of men, while hyper-femme fashion focuses on femininity and girly designs for the female gaze, not for the male gaze. I wanted to have the feeling of falling in love with your inner self and bring that out through soft yet strong feminine silhouettes. This collection is to empower women and bring out anyone’s innermost femininity, I chose to work mainly with silks and satins to capture that soft feminine essence as well as give a romantic and whimsical feel to the garments. I worked with my fabric and did a lot of draping explorations to figure out what silhouettes worked best with the natural drapability of the fabric. After my draping exploration I decided to focus on the bow shape that I created and for the rest of my designs I focused on creating different silhouette variations of that shape. As well as focusing on couture techniques such as corsetry, bead embroidery, and tailoring. These techniques help bring out a stronger more structured side to my garments which will emphasize the feeling of female empowerment that Adornezza strives to instill in their audience.
