I was heavily inspired by the lack of functionality in the traditionally feminine clothing for females. For example, women often become immensely excited when a dress has pockets, due to the rarity of such a basic addition to a piece of clothing. Generation Z is leading the change in defying stereotypes, and this has been reflected in fashion trends. There has been an increase in pocketed dresses in the past year, and even yoga pants have become more functional with this simple addition. Functionality is the newest trend and is necessary for improving the lives of active young women.

My collection will feature clothing that enables its wearer to go through their daily lives comfortably while maintaining fashion trends. Dresses that are convertible to a jumpsuit, jumpsuits that disconnect, and pockets with every look are a few of the features that I aimed to achieve within Hidden Functions. I wanted my collection to embody the message that it is possible to wear functional clothing and maintain femininity.
