The appearance of strength is often more important than actual strength. Inspired by armor and geodes, Crystal Armor is a sculptural garment collection intended to make the wearer feel strong and confident. The garment is a physical representation of the wearer’s inner strength, resilience, and their power to persevere in the face of adversity. 

By creating a silhouette that is larger than life, the wearer is enveloped in safety while giving the appearance of strength and power.
