Blocked

This piece is a part of a larger collaborative collection with other members of the Cornell Fashion Collective for the 32nd Annual Fashion Show. The theme of the collaboration was based on the idea of color blocking, hence the name Blocked. 

I chose to base my own design off of optical illusion color blocking. By using the waist of the dress as a focal point for my illusion, it looks much smaller than reality. A lot of optical illusions use white and black to create a deeper illusion, but since the theme of the collaboration involved color, I chose to use yellow and pink in place of white to contrast the black.
