Jacinta Grandel

Simply Nostalgic is the first completed collection of my Fashion Career. During my first year at college in 2020, I had to abandon a collection I was designing with a partner for MODE fashion club's spring shoe after the first COVID-19 shutdown. Determined to complete a collection despite the circumstances, I came up with a design concept, and produced, and modeled these looks in less than 2 months.

​

I sought a calm, warm, and hazy sense of remembering the past through my design process by keeping the looks and construction of these garments relatively simple. Looking back, simplicity and recalling the halcyon of the past were a much-needed focus during the time.
