TRADITIONAL IS THE BARKLEY LAUREN CRITIC AWARD WINNING SENIOR THESIS COLLECTION.

TRADITIONAL IS A COLLECTION THAT BLENDS THE FEMININITY OF JAPANESE KIMONOS WITH THE MASCULINITY OF ENGLISH HUNTING TRADITIONS. IT IS A DEVELOPMENT OF THE WAY IN WHICH WE USE AND LOOK AT GENDER TO DEFINE HOW WE SEE OURSELVES. BY USING THE PAST WE CAN CREATE A MORE FLUID FUTURE.
