A White Horse's Ta-il/le

This is the first pieces of clothing I have made that is worn by a professional model and had undergone a photoshoot. This is a project of our Advance Pattern Class in the Fashion Institiute of the Philippines. We took inspiration from animals and this one particularly inspired by a horse. I took several characteristics of a horse: strength, gracefulness, and serenity to create the silhouette and look of the garments. I am obvioulsy carried away by a white horse in the choice of color. The top piece is embellished with buttons with watermarks of zebra stripes and added tassels to symbolize an iconic part of the animal, its tail.
