Indomitable
An upscale evening-wear collection, employing couture techniques, embodies "Indomitable" resilience. Textile manipulations, like hand-sewn pinstripes, depict trauma and subsequent rebuilding. Graffiti's rebellion inspires vibrant colors, while germ theory motifs symbolize regrowth. Referencing resilient symbols from black culture, like the zoot suit and durags, it embodies enduring influence.

Articulation
This collection explores how fashion and print can be used to articulate challenges both girls and women face in our society. Cyanotype was used to dye the fabric and create the prints by using UV lamps to photograph the prints and transform white fabric into a colorful collection.
Mariali Mera Mendoza
Calvario
This collection searches the "Archetype" of Mexican (and Latin American) Woman archetype by exploring the spectrum of femininity and the idea(s). Rather than accepting and eternalizing a concrete stereotype influenced by religious icons such as The Virgins, the artist explores the spectrum of womanhood and its different expressions valued from authenticity.

What If?
My focus area for this thesis is the body, garment, and the deepening relationship between the two. I like to observe how a person walks, breathes, bends, stretches etc. and through those movements it shows the power clothing has over the body. The full collection highlights the internal conversation that a wearer has when putting on garments or moving around in them. This internal conversation allows for the deepening relationship between a wearer and their clothes.
