BREATHE

“The “Breathe” dress in the Internal Collection of garments based on anatomy has special significance. Based on lungs, this piece was inspired by Lisa Iannone, my close friend from childhood who was (at the time) fighting Pulmonary Hypertension, a terminal illness of the lungs. She is an inspirational person who has continually shown so much light, strength and grace throughout her life with this painful disease and subsequent transplant. I wanted to create a piece that celebrated her empowered spirit, beauty, and poise through her physical struggles. She is pictured wearing the piece here.”
