It is completely natural, and yet completes that which is completely unnatural. Electricity runs our world. We can’t have light, heat, power,
communication, just about anything without its presence. It is the juice that fuel New York City every single waking moment. It’s hard to imagine that human life existed for such a long period of time without it.
Electricity is colorless, matterless, and locationless. Yet at the same time, it can be every color, moving, and everywhere around us. It is incredible the power it holds, and yet it is generated through simply the attraction of a negative ion to a positive ion.
I love walking through the city at night and seeing the brilliant colors and life that electricity runs. Neon signs and backlit displays in stores create a distinctive ambiance, and their glow is so bright that it leaves a mark on my vision when I look away. Building churn with energy and buzz; the Empire State Building changes colors and forever has its many windows lit.
These neon colors inspire brilliant apparel. It makes perfect sense: naturally we want to look as captivating, eye-catching, and impactful as the powered lights and building around us. Designers like Michael Kors, Nanette Lepore, and Celine have incorporated these bright ideas into their current resortwear collections.
Just like electricity, I want my designs to power and inspire those who see and wear them.
