The idea for this project started by asking little girls of ages six to eight to draw out their imagination as to what they would like to wear every day. As this age group is aware of their likes and dislikes especially in what they wear and are also very picky about the textures, colors, lengths, etc. I have used those drawings as a reference to derive my silhouettes as a starting point then further used my creativity and knowledge to create this collection.
