The focus of /bəˈlôNG/ is to go beyond diversity and inclusion in fashion and instead to create a sense of belonging in the industry. Historically, fashion has been very discriminatory and I want to do my part to change this while inspiring others to do the same. This collection is inspired by gardens as they represent a lovely, serene oasis in a world full of chaos, which is something we could all use in our day-to-day lives. Within gardens are a variety of different flowers all deemed beautiful, despite being different colors, types, or having some flaws.
