S.M.H. and A.T.H.

            Fashion helped me find a balance of who I am as an artist being able to express myself and share it with the world. The objective of my art is to create garments that shape a sense of individuality. I want the people in my clothes to feel as though they exude greatness with positive energy.

            I have always been said to have a distinct sense of style but was uncertain how to start my journey in the field of fashion. When I took my first Introduction to Fashion class my uncertainty turned into determination. I began studying designers such as Virgil Abloh and Sheila Rashid, whom I become intrigued with. Virgil, a global luxury street wear designer with his own fashion house. I admire Sheila for her very intricate craftsmanship that display haute couture qualities. I aspire to be on the skill and level of them both.

            It is my belief that everything first begins with a vision. From that vision anything great can be created when you focus and set your perspective high not allowing anything to interfere. Great things are created Above the Horizon. I created Above The Horizon with the belief that it all starts with a vision, more importantly knowing where to project your vision to accomplish anything you set out to do. It’s called Above the Horizon as a reminder to look higher than what is  seen at eye level. Starting out with fabrics right from the fabric stores, I will also incorporate used garments to construct an even more fashionable garment being attentive to careful craftsmanship. This collection has plans to be fractionally sustainable and Eco-friendly, one day accomplishing a completely sustainable, eco-friendly fashion brand. . Above the Horizon reminds people to really be resourceful and use what you have to create extraordinary things.  Also, to abandon what it means to conform to all others but to be an illustration of what it means to be original and independent. Not too easily defined, but to be an anomaly.  The style of ATH can be described as unisex, balancing both masculine and feminine qualities. Simple yet intricate in detail.
