This dress is a tribute to the duality of Miami, blending its iconic Art Deco architecture with the city’s lush natural beauty. The structured bodice, crafted from red cabbage-dyed fabric, symbolizes Miami’s bold, manmade skyline, while the flowing plant-dyed sections represent the nurturing, organic warmth of its environment. This harmonious balance reflects my personal journey as both a tourist and a resident, capturing the city’s luxury and modesty, innovation and tradition. Designed with eco-friendly materials and ready-to-wear appeal, this piece tells a story of connection, sustainability, and resilience.
