The Roaring 20s designs are all original concepts personally created utilizing Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Gerber Accumark, and Lectra. My design inspirations included the significant icons and motifs of the era I looked to rich colors with hints of sparkle to capture the essence of such a glamorous and carefree era in fashion history.
