Scrumptious
(adj.)  very pleasing, especially to the senses delectable; splendid

I got inspired by the meaning of my Resene colour name Scrumptious. Scrumptious is delightful, appealing and splendid, which were the same words to describe women in the art nouveau era. Women on that time were seen highly idealise and feminine

I wanted to design something that portrays this images in modern society.  Also influenced by their flowy and goddess like dresses I also wanted to incorporate Anahera’s story as she is transported into a life of freedom.

I designed a jumpsuit with a long overlay on the waist to show flow and gives a famine touch and give a graceful movement when walking in the catwalk. I have a belt overlay to represent the boldness and the independence that women in art nouveau are finally getting. Resene scrumptious for me is vibrant, bold and yet it’s still soft and divine and inviting to look at.

I wanted the person who is my wearing garment to feel scrumptious.
