Summer 2025 coming soon
Effervescent
When asked to think about what was missing from the women's apparel market, one thing that stood out to me was the lack of truly reversible, interchangeable pieces with bold color and style options. My goal with this line was to bring life to reversible garments, while still offering versatility, and sustainable shopping in mind.
Each piece in the line is fully reversible, offering two different colorways. The two dress looks are also fully interchangeable; the skirts and tops can be worn zipped together or apart, as well as swapped with the alternate top. The two short skirt pieces also come complete with bottom sections, able to be worn zipped on or off, for a longer colorful look or a more simplistic mini.
Design Process
When starting this project, I knew I wanted each garment to be reversible and available in multiple color variations. But I also wanted to push versatility further, beyond simple reversibility.
During my research, I found limited examples of garments with both practical and style-forward versatility. One exception was a piece from the Goldstein Museum of Design’s 1980s exhibit. While it may not have been intended for versatility, the dress featured a metal zipper running through the garment, which inspired me to use zippers in my own designs — not just as closures, but as connectors, allowing pieces to be attached or detached to transform their silhouette.

Design Process
Beginning sketches of silhouette, color blocking, and modular construction. Technical flats lay out each colorway in the line and show how each piece separates.

Design Process
Developed patterns for reversible, modular designs. Built prototypes to refine function and finish, and created 3D renders.
