Women, like the beautiful rose, are masked by their intoxicating scent.
Facing the light & dark, they manage to bloom.
The scars from past hurts hidden at the bottom of the stem.
The sharp thorn a defence to barricade the soft & gentle petals.
Once pricked, you will be careful how you handle the delicate rose.
Be patient with the rose, thorn by thorn, it will reveal it's true beauty.
Like the rose, I decided to do a mix of hard & soft. Opposite ends of the spectrum seem to work together. The floral A-line dress, like the soft petals with a stiff dark leather, like the hard thorns, creates a fashion juxtaposition. Counteract that feminine silhouette with sleek & edgy accents.
