The Magdalena Dress because the color is very vigorous and the design is not traditional but exciting.

Each dress has a name would you tell us what is the significance of those names?

The concept behind naming the dresses was to give each piece its own sense of strong identity, personality and presence similar to the women who would be wearing from the collection. The significance of the names could be traced back to the idea of the type of women who would be wearing the dress and what they would be like, what they present themselves as, and how the dress can add to that.

The biggest challenge during the execution is presenting my vision in the most accurate way possible in order to have it executed properly. It’s also important to stick close to the theme and the same perspective in order for the collection to remain cohesive; sometimes I find myself straying away from the initial soul of the collection but I always manage to find my way back.
