“Throughout the design process, I’ve had the ability to explore shape and structure and see how it is used in clothing to portray various emotions and ideas.”
As a Level 3 designer, Langinestra had the freedom to focus her collection towards her own topic of interest. Her collection concentrates on three dimensional structure and space, inspired by the architecture and the commonalities between various forms of art. Langinestra wanted to bring attention to the idea that all art forms, whether it be fashion design or architecture, use dimensionality to create an emotional or thought provoking effect.

The collection uses a subtle color palette of blacks, whites, greys, and blues in order to highlight the shape of the garments and create a strong emphasis on three dimensional structure. Langinestra is excited to see how her designs are going to be read by the audience and how people will interpret her collection.
